susieblue Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I posted this a few weeks ago but haven't received any solutions. Thought I would try again. Mayco makes a clear "Pottery Cascade" which allows glazes to melt more and run together.(I use it on cone 06-04 glazes). I would like to create something like this on my own but am not sure which ingredient combo would produce the best result. I'm thinking a low temp flux but which one? Do I need a refractory, a glass-former? Can anyone suggest a recipe? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susieblue Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I have attached a photo of a small practice pot I did. It was glazed with a commercial celadon crackle then I painted an old Plum Beautiful Duncan crystal glaze around and slightly below the rim. When that was dry I painted over the rim with the Pottery Cascade and it came out like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bciskepottery Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Likely a concentrated flux that melts at low temperatures . . . borax, gerstley borate, or a frit (3134, 3124, or 3195). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakukuku Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 yep, i suggest gherstly borate since its the flux in lots of raku glazes which fire to cone 06. rakuku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 That glaze on your cup is heavly crazed-looks to be a fit issue to me. I'm no expert in the low fire range so others could help you. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
