Dear All, I have used peach colored mason stain but I always mix it with slip. I use Robin Hoppers slip recipe. I was told that the color of slip is always enhanced if you first put a white colored plain slip down and then the colored one. It has worked for me on Plainsmen's darkest red cone 6 clay.

bciskepottery Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Consider adding more stain to the glaze; 10% might not be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 According to the Mason Reference chart: 9. Glaze must contain 6.7 to 8.4% CaO (12-15% CaCO3). Your glaze is at 12.8%, so a bit high. I would try a different base, or try fiddling with that recipe. It's a tough one to alter without messing it up, though.

Marcia Selsor Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Here is the Clear ^6 I use with stains. It works really well with crimson Mason Stains. Please forgive the formatting. This is a nice smooth satin to shiny clear. It is high in Calcium Carb, but it is the same code for crimson and it works well there. Sue Hintz Clear 6^ reworked by Ron Roy back in late 90s.
