RobinFlanders Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 Hey all, I'm fairly new to ceramics (my 3rd semester) and have just gotten into making my own clay and slip. I've made two batches and now there's an EPK shortage and my recipes have EPK. I haven't been able to easily find an EPK free cone 6 white recipe for casting slip and was hoping that someone out there might have one, or at least some knowledge of substituting EPK in recipes. Just from reading around apparently tile 6 is similar as they're both Kaolin? Is anyone experimenting with this currently? Looking forward to talking to you all!

Mark C. Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 yes-many around here are using #6 tile in glazes one to one In a clay body it would also be the same Roberta12 and RobinFlanders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
