I'd love to hear what you learned. It's unlikely I'll have the opportunity to build a reduction electric kiln in the near future, but I'm still interested.

Seger cone 4 + RIO

You're right. The left hand one has 13.5% RIO added. -

Do you mean percentages of iron oxide added? -
I stuck the Colemanite in a bisque firing to 915 C, which should be around cone 09. Theoretically, Colemanite has an LOI of 21.9%, but I've seen an analysis of 23.7%. I don't have the exact % weight loss of the sample I used in front of me, but I think it was just over 24%, so I doubt there's much carbon left, if any. -
This is just calcined Colemanite in some water in a polystyrene cup. See my post in this thread for more context: http://community.ceramicartsdaily.org/topic/15955-colemanite/ I think the lighter coloured bits floating on the water are thin layers of soluble material that have crystallised. You can also see a ring of white crystals above the water line.

Moving studios at the moment. Let's hope the new one isn't as noisy as the last.

Hope it turns out to be the perfect artistic nest for you. I live in the country, I hear an occasional "moo."

Ohh that's awful.
How is it even enjoyable for THEM at that point? -
Wish I had a studio like yours, Nerd. To be fair, my old studio wasn't always that bad, but it was bad enough for me to decide I'd had enough.

Thanks Frederik. The top part warped a little during the 'glaze' firing, but I was just happy that it made it through in one piece.
