BlackandWhitedogpottery Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Does anyone have a good ^8-^9 clear glaze recipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Campbell Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 You have just asked the #2 most common question in pottery ... with number one being a need for a good Cone 6 clear glaze. It is a massive question that is very difficult to answer because finding a glaze that fits your clay without crazing, shivering, pin holing is a complicated process. You might need to refine your question by telling us what clay body you are using and how you want to fire it. I would highly recommend searching in the FAQ area for past discussions. Also, on the top left of this page on the green bar there is a link to Ceramic Arts Daily. There you will find lots of information on glazing. Best wishes!

neilestrick Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Like Chris said, it's not that simple. Lot of variables come into play. Here's what I would do: Take any glossy cone 10 glaze that has the surface equalities you like (gossiness, durability, etc), and mix it up without the colorants. If it doesn't melt enough, add Gerstley Borate in 2% increments until you get the desired melt. You'll probably only need 2-4% If it crazes, add equal parts EPK and silica in 3% increments until the crazing stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 This is a recipe from the site for cone ten.http://ceramicartsdaily.org/ceramics-monthly/article/no-craze-glaze/. This glaze has a slight blue hue on Coleman's porcelain. No crazing at all. Fired to cone 10 in gas reduction kiln. It's a start for you. Good luck.
