I Found My Glaze Book Soaking In A Glaze Bucket , It's Hard To Decipher.

This is for a glaze recipe that I use in Oxidation at cone 8 . The glaze is called G8, It's a beautiful red glaze that blushes to a green tint with the added copper where it is thicker. I think it is a  Val Cushing glaze
  What I can read of the soaked pages is

Volcanic ash      41.3
Bers Bor             23.1
3134                   9.7
EPK                     7.7
lithium   c               1.2
Dolemite                4.5
whiting                   1.4
flint                       10.5

I believe these top ones are correct

But these are just blurred out

Cop c   ?
RIO   ?
Tin Ox ?


can anyone fill in the ? on Cop C and RIO and Tin Ox

Any help would be really appreciated . It's crunch time for me , so I don't have the needed time to test it out. Although I might have to.

      This looks like it,  Is it a Val Cushing glaze and was I right in calling it G8 and does the rest of the glaze correlate with the glaze your drawing these numbers from.

 You saved me lots of time, thank you.

     I would have never guessed that the RIO would be just .9 Not for how red this Iron red glaze is.

It's GA 8.

 

I can't say if it's a Val Cushing glaze or not, it was produced by a group working together according to the book. (Big Clou in Big Lou's link)

 

0.7 RIO  is what the book says, it wasn't red at all for me, if i made it again I was going to increase it.

Thanks for the information .I'm having that problem right now with color
intensity . I believe it is the volcanic ash you have, thats the problem
. The Volcanic ash I got from Continental clay in Mn worked at that
level .9% it makes a great glaze. I just found a 25 lb box in over
inventory here , It's from 50 years ago. I used .9% red Iron Ox and it
is just a, not so nice, green. I did some glaze test added increased
increments of Iron by just adding a pinch at a time to my 4% spray gun
. And I have it close but I don't think it will be as nice, it seems to
lean more to the brown /red. This is a remarkable glaze if you have the
right volcanic ash. I'm guessing all volcanic ash's are not the same.
I'm testing it for exact % right now I'll get back to you
Thanks

I had to use a substitute for the Volcanic Ash, (there are substitute suggestions in the book, which I followed).

 

I quite like the look of the glaze and will make a larger batch next time, but there was very little red, a few speckles showing through the green was what I had.

 

I'll take a harder look at my substitute and increase the RIO a little next time

Here it is thin without the green flash from the copper. With the right volcanic ash .with just .9% iron. It's a amazing glazeattachicon.gifcup1.JPG

 

...........and very similar to what I get with a Richard Busch glaze I use called Nutmeg.

 

This (below) has about 25% satin white mixed in (and a stray nail -  ignore that!)  but used neat it is very similar to your pic.

 

I'm off to compare the recipes now and try and learn something. -_-
