I could use some help.. I mixed up a ^6 ox. glaze that was on my spreadshee=
t
and read the ingredients way wrong. This is what I read (and mixed):
Ferro Frit 3195 20
Wollastonite 29
Neph Sy 4
Silica 30
G-200 Feldspar 17
-------------------------------
Red Iron Oxide 7.1
Rutile 6
I made a 5K batch of this so I wanted to see If I could save it, since it=B9s
a lot of chemical to give up for lost (even though it=B9s less than a $7
investment). But I don=B9t have a glaze chem program and no knowledge of
their use as of yet. I=B9ll go searching for a demo. While I try to do this,
most likely unsuccessfully, will someone who has experience with analyzing
glazes, please look up something that we can add that will make this glaze
work. I assume it will be entirely to
runny, and dive off the pot.

Sam --
It's not as bad as it might be -- you're in the 20% range for
total fluxes, plus just over 4% Boron (B2O3). What could make
this a really runny glaze is that the Alumina level is low --
just 4.3%. The Si:Al ratio is 16.53; that's way, way high.
I'd suggest adding a clay to bring up the alumina level (and
also keep the glaze from settling out too badly, which it
may otherwise). If you add 15% EPK you'd get total fluxes
of 18.57, Si:Al of 10.10, and Boron of 3.8 -- possible in the
good range of glossy glazes.
There are advantages to using a ball clay, but most of the
ball clay's I've used have less alumina than EPK. If I were to use
OM-4, for example, 15% would leave you at 11.6 Si:Al,and 18.6
% total fluxes -- still probably a bit runny. If you go with 15% of OM-4
though, and also add 10% EPK, you land on 17.53% fluxes, under 2%
sodium, 3.55% boron, and Si:Al of 9.22. That's in the range where
I'd be tempted to test it.
Best wishes -- whatever you do, please let us know what the outcome
is.

Hi Sam,
What was it supposed to be? I might be able to work up a fix.

You mean you can't recognize it? ;) It's Oatmeal with a different colorant
and some screwed up ingredients! Love it if you could help, Sammy

What is the original recipe? Which of the hundreds of oatmeal recipes?
