ayjay Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 It depends: , (as usual). https://digitalfire.com/4sight/education/reducing_the_firing_temperature_of_a_glaze_from_cone_10_to_6_101.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Try adding Gillespie Borate in 3% increments. Be aware that that glaze is way high out of limits for magnesium, and low out of limits in silica. Not what I would call a good or stable glaze.

Min Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 If you are looking for a dolomite matte instead of trying to alter that ^10 one you could try this one that is formulated for ^6. For me it's too matte as is but if you do a line blend with a clear that fits your clay you should be able to get there. "Is there an easy way...." haven't found an easy way with anything to do with clay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Fireborn Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 The matte Min recommended is a beautiful surface and really smooth to the touch. It isn't good for inside of bowls are plates, but anything else its a real winner. I use it too. It also take stains and stuff well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMpottery Posted June 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Thanks for the help. I'll try the gerstley borate line blend and it that doesn't work, I'll try other formulated for cone 6 recipes starting with the one from digital fire.
