Conversion To Eu Ingredients Of Us Glaze


Joenix

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I know very little about glaze software, and prefer to concentrate on sculpting.

I would like to test a US glaze recipe, but with ingredients available in the EU.

 

Would someone be able to convert the following into the correct percentages? I have put the substitute ingredients available to me in brackets:

 

EPK (kaolin) 20

Silica (I have this) 20

Wollastonite (I have this) 20

Ferro frit 3134 (borax frit P2957) or ('standard borax frit) 20

Custer feldspar (potash) 20

 

I think the problem will mainly be in the conversion of the ferro frit.

 

This is Yoko Sekino Bové's Leaf Green glaze, which I'd like to play around with. But if someone could do all the really intricate calculations for me, that would be brilliant! I would like to just fiddle about with colour, and not with consistency and opacity etc.

 

Thank you,

Sarah.

I've reformulated the recipe using the Potash Feldspar I use and EPK for kaolin, since I don't know the composition of the ones you use. So this may not work for you, but could be a starting point if you can't find more info about your potspar and kaolin.

 

Kaolin                              17

Silica                               22.5

Wollastonite                     21

BPS Standard Borax Frit  26

Potash Feldspar              13.5
