Beardbangs Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hello all you experienced glaze chemists, I have been using this recipe at my studio for a few months now and I really like it except that when it's thick it moves more than I'd like. I'd like to slightly adjust it so it's a little more stable. Any recommendations? Also, the iron oxide and copper carb wouldn't affect any of this, right?

neilestrick Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Test adding equal parts silica and EPK in 2% (each) increments. Copper carb can affect the melt a bit, but not a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 That's basically Michael Sherrill's "So Clear" with colourants. When I tried that glaze I found it really needed 3 bentonite to keep the glaze suspended plus some epsom salts to keep the copper in suspension. (anybody else find the new bright green copper drops out of suspension easier than the old gray/green stuff?) It still moves a bit with the 3 bentonite so maybe that plus a bit more silica and epk.
