Glaze Number 21

McCall's Mixed White
This is a glaze that I mixed 50% and 50%
1/2 of the Glaze is JH&RR MC6 Magolica Glaze
1/2 at Gertsley Borate Glaze
(GB 50%, Kaolin 25%, and Silica 25%, Zircopax 8%)
The reason I did this was that JH&RR Majolica
was coming out too fat for me and I was
getting some pinholes.
I wanted a more fluid glaze, but one that
was opaque also.

Apply no more than two dips or you
will get pinholes.

You may also want to try a 75%/25% mix.

Glaze Number 22

CLEAR GLOSSY
70%          Frit--Ferro 3195
8 %         Kaolin--EPK
10%          Wollastonite
12%          Silica

Nice clear smooth glaze, but
I had pinholes and some bubbles
with large Cone 6 at 9 o'clock
May need to fire higher or increase Frit
Has potential. Maybe someone has
another suggestion for reducing pinholes
and bubbles. Very clear. This glaze was in a recent
issue of Ceramics Monthly.

Glaze Number 25

Amaco's Pompepian Blue Ash

I found that it has to be applied thin
or you will get bubbles. May need to be
fired at a higher temp.
This piece is somewhat dry.

Glaze Number 26

Amaco Shino

Two Dips

Bottom shows color of one dip

Results
Smooth semi matt
Basically a solid color
No variations or texture
Works good with Nutmeg
and other shinos in tests
to have a variation in color.
Not remarkable by itself

Glaze Number 30

Mixed Glaze
Used 4 oz. Duncan Cone 05/06 Clear
added 1/4 cup of Kaolin
and 1/4 cup Silica

Two Dips

I was given a gallon of the Duncan Clear
and it must have been 20 years old. Remixed
and tried this combination with the following:

Results

This actually turned out to be a nice semi glossy
clear glaze. It will bubble where thick. I want to
try it with 1/8 cup of kaolin and 1/8 cup of silica
to reduce bubbles where thick.
It is very nice where it does not collect and has
and almost orange peel feel.
