Our own Brian Gartside has some very interesting and individual
approaches to glaze making by volume. See:

Brian's cone 6 Base Glaze recipe is by volume and I have tested it with
about 20 colorants, yepsie, in the archives! I have just made glaze bars
for Ron, who generously offered to measure the COE of this glaze, as a
base which crazed, and then some samples with coloring oxides, which did
not craze. I have been perplexing about the amount of an oxide in a base
and how much it takes of what, to lower the COE ,of this glaze.
It was an exciting project to make the glaze boats from fire brick and if
I had a blogg or knew how to blogg I would put the photo of the glaze
boats in it.
I have worked "backwards" and converted this glaze to grams and in the
next firing, will see how it does. I did this by simple mathematical
logic, but will look at it in Glaze Master and see where I can add the
extra 2 grams of the last two ingredients just to get the base to measure
up to 100. I have a feeling 1 gram of anything extra is not going to have
a big influence on this glaze.
Always something to try,
Best regards from Alisa in Denmark
Hope to see lots of you at the Janjobe opening the 13th.
