Cone 5 glaze on Cone 10 body?

[Rex Johnson]

Any idea about how the cone 5 glazes (commercial Laguna and Coyote) I have would work with cone 10 clays?

Would there be a major problem?

 

I bought some of the Laguna Clay cone 10 wood fire clay (WC-899) to try throwing and barrel firing.

 

Man, the stuff is way easier to center and thrown than the cone 5 B-mix (WC-401 ).

I'm thinking about getting some more and maybe going to cone 10 B-mix as well to see if that’s easier to throw too. Up til now I'm just finding most cone 5 clays I've tried are less plastic and more finicky for production throwing..

BTW, I'm gas firing to cone 5-6.

 

Glazes I'm using:

DGLAWC520-5 Cone 5-10 Glaze - #16 Transparent

GLLAMS74-P Laguna Moroccan Sand Glazes Spring Green

GLCYMBG061-P Coyote Cone 6 Glaze Desert Sage

DGCYMBG042-10 Coyote Cone 6 Glaze Shino 042

DGCYMBG070-10 Coyote Cone 6 Glaze Pams Blue

My only thought is that the clay will not be vitrified at this point ^6, This would make it more prone to absorption & durability. As for issues with specific glazes, only solution is to test, test, test! Good luck!
