Hi:
Sure, here's a good one that I've used. This is one of my formulations so
if you don't like it you can blame me. 8>)
Chun #29 Cone 10 Reduction
Soda Feldspar 35.38
Apple Ash 23.58
Grolleg Kaolin 4.79
Silica 36.25
add Macaloid 2.0%
I use either Kona F-4 or Unispar 50 for the soda feldspar. You can try any
woodash you have and it will most likely work. Fruitwood ash is a good
choice because of the higher Phosphorous content. If your ash is low in
P2O5 you could add a percent or two of bone ash or tri calcium phosphate.
This glaze is very nice on porcelain over iron slips and cobalt/iron
slips. You can also add small amounts of black iron oxide for color. My
woodash has some iron so I don't need to add anything. The glaze needs a
thick application to develop the chun blue.
