Twitchy Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Bridge Pottery Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 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. PeterH and Hulk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick's advice is correct - if the glazy database doesn't already have an entry for the frit in question. However the database seems to have had an entry for Frit 4064 since 2018. https://glazy.org/materials/22651 Frit 4064 22651 Other Names Frit 4364, Frit 3531, Frit DA4064 Created 25 Sep 2018 Updated 5 years ago - are you sure the frit in question was 4064? - any chance of finger-trouble when you entered the name? - maybe try some of the alternate names?

High Bridge Pottery Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Is it bad practice to create/duplicate all your materials on glazy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would depend on whether the data on Glazy is the same as someones current material analysis (garbage in garbage out). Materials data fields vary between sources.

I now realise my posting can be interpreted as a criticism of the advise in your earlier posting. This was certainly not my intention. I think adding another material with the same analysis as an existing one - simply because you are unaware of the existing entry - would be suboptimal practice. My current impression is that the OP wanted to use an existing entry for Frit 4064 but couldn't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Bridge Pottery Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 @PeterH No I didn't think you were being critical of my advice, I have just started using glazy and added all my materials but then started questioning myself if that was the right thing to do. I know most exist but it's nice to be in control of materials you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
