Help Finding Reliable Clear Gloss Glaze Recipe Recommedations


gkillmaster

Recommended Posts

I am firing at cone 05 and cone 5. I'm using commercial clay bodies that mature at those temperatures (IMCO Tijuana and Quyle Sandstone Buff) thus the separate firing temperatures.

I'm looking for a clear gloss glaze recipe that for each, or at least a good starting point. I using this on top of Amaco Velvet underglazes so I need for it to be transparent.

 

I'm considering just buying commercial glazes but they are very expensive by comparison to mixing my own.

 

Would appreciate recommendations on a good online source for low fire glaze recipes or for a glaze recipe book that covers low through medium range firing.

 

many thanks!!

A basic low fire clear that many of the commercial glaze manufacturers use is 90% Frit 3124 + 10% kaolin.

 

Most glossy glazes are just clear glazes with colorants and/or opacifiers. So if you've got a glaze you're already using, do a test of the base recipe.

 

Thank you for this recipe! I'm going to test it. much appreciated!
