Hello Susan:
Mason Stains recomends to always add frit to stains not exclusive to
outdoors applications.
I think the usual one is 3124.
I add 1/1 I don't remember what their recomendation is but this works for
me. As for water I add to taste, depends how saturated I want the color to
be and the method of application.
And that is some of what i know:)

I have been adding Frit 3134 to mason stains I use in making decals
by the ink jet embossing method. I use any where from 20 to 50
percent . Doesn't seem to matter much what amount. I use them dry
since they are brushed over the sticky image as a dry powder.

1) I did do several searches on the digest but did not get the info needed.
Noticed in book on outdoors ceramics that some artists added some frit to
stains for outdoors pieces. Any thoughts on what might be a good percentage
to start tests with? (Water, Stains, Frit 3134)
Thanks tons.

Hi Susan,
As you may already know the ratio of 70# of frit (3134) and 30# of water will make you a simple ^06 glaze. The addition of 7 to 12% of a ball clay or EKP in a pinch will help stabilize it. Introduce a stain in the following amounts of 1,3,5, & 7 % will add color to your glaze. The saturation will depend on the strength of the stain. For example when using cobalt oxide adjust percentages to 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, & 2% for starters. Are you looking to make a glaze or looking to help the stain adhere to your clay body? These ratios are not set in stone and I urge you to experiment with them to achieve your final goal.
Take care,
Les Haworth
