If you click on the create option in the menu then choose new material you can add it that way if you have the frit analysis.

Thanks very much. That worked just fine.

[Use frit not listed in a glazy.org recipe]

This may be an ignorant question, but here goes. Some frits, such as Frit 4064, are not recognised when you enter them into a new recipe in glazy.org. This one, for example, is commercially available.  How can I include materials such as this in a glzy.org recipe?

I decided to explore the opinion of AI on matters related to this subject, so I asked Google Gemini AI a series of questions. The result is the  attached  "discussion" I had with Gemini. I have copied the "discussion" without reformatting or editing the text. I make no comment about the validity of this material. I simply offer it for your information.

[Soda firing in ceramic fibre kiln?]

I don'r doubt that, but it would be great if one could find a way to use fibre. The Furnascote non vit should crack less than some coatings. I have used it on fibre (not for soda) and it remains well intact. Another product, Fibrecoat, is apparently similar but designed specifically for coating fibre. I am trying to get further data on Fibrecoat.

Thanks Mark. I suspect that a product called "Fibrecoat" might be better than the coatings tried in those links. it remains that I would like to find other trials before I do any trials myself. But it does not look very promising at this stage.

[Soda firing in ceramic fibre kiln?]

Has anyone tried using a ceramic fibre kiln for soda firing by coating the fibre with a high-zirconia coating (such as "Furnascote") to protect it from erosion. The coating would still erode, but it might do so sufficiently slowly to protect the fibre, though it would need to be reapplied from time to time. Any comments, especially any actual experience?
