Wyndham Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 depends on the recipe your using, it may or may not need added flux Test a small 100 gm recipe Wyndham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I have used a few bags a year of alberta slip (still have a few bags of albany left) over many years now I have found that its about the same in some applications and not the same in others. It as Wyndam says may need flux as true abany fluxes at a cooler temps I think. In my black glaze which only has three ingredients (which I posted here last year Nep sye and cobalt ox and alberta) its a direct albany pound for pound deal In other glazes more flux may be needed especially at cone 6. Albany alone melts very well at cone 8-9 I have not run tests on Alberta alone lately-maybe years ago but I have no recall of the results.

David F. Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I use this one at cone 6 all the time. I use it with no colorant layered with 2 or 3 other glazes but I have used the brown in the past.
