Jan jones Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Does anyone know what proportions of potash feldspar and nephelline syenite can be used to replace FFF feldspar in a glaze recipe. FFF feldspar does not seem to be available in Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JBaymore Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Can you post the typical analysis of the FFF feldspar you mention? If you do, I can recalculate it using other materials. But to really be accurate I would also need the typical analysis of your OTHER raw materials that might be used to substitute..... the Neph. SY. and so on. best, .......................john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
