If I sub Custer Feldspar in this glaze for Neph synite will it work at Cone
6 to Cone 7.

Recipe Name: CHAPPELLS'S BLUE W/O IRON

Cone: 6 Color: BLUE
Firing: Oxidation Surface: Glossy

Amount Ingredient
47.3 Nepheline Syenite
27 Gerstley Borate--1999
20.3 Silica
5.4 Kaolin--EPK

100 Total

Additives
4 Rutile
1 Cobalt Carbonate

I tried the old recipe to a hard Cone 7, but it was somewhat bleached out.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks Alisa,,,, I put it in my kiln to test this morning. Should get it
out tomorrow. Also testing the Cone 6 Salvation Glaze for Cone 6. The one
that was adjusted to make it more stable.

I have been trying to come up with a Albany Slip glaze at Cone 6 using
Laguna's Substitute, but so far it is too shiny and too transparent. I am
trying to come up with one that looks just like Albany at Cone 10 shiny but
opaque.

Have you done any work with Albany Subs?

My next test will be 80 Albany and 20 nephyl syn.

Hi Randy
Just looking at a gram for gram sub. from Neph. Sye to Custer, I do not
think you will get a glaze a good melt at cone 6. I think you will have to
adjust a lot more to get a cone 6 glaze.
But here it is on Glaze Master so you can see the unity formulas.

Try Sheffield clay. Also Alberta.
They both have the fat creamy texture in the wet stage and are useable
from cone 6 to eleven. At cone 6 try adding 10% frit 3134. (I darkened it
with 3% Cobalt.) They are opaque, fat and smooth making no scratchy sound
when scraped with fork or spoon.
I made the miscalculation and used the 10% frit 3134 at cone ten and it
went mirror like gloss but did not run over the foot, though it did thin at
the rim.

Got a test tube out yesterday and it came out a matt purple/blue. Some
pinholes.

Isn't it Custer/F4/Neph sye/G.Borate , in decending order of refractoriness?

Doesn't Neph Sye take you down two cones?

Hi Randy,

Looks like it will be more shiny - ratio will go up from 6.49 to 8.62 -
thats because Neph Sy is short of silica compared to feldspars.

I don't have enough experience with cone 6 or blue to tell if the colour
will work.

I don't understand how the blue could be bleached out though??

Randy,

If Neph Sy is used instead of Custer it seems the glaze will melt at a
slightly lower temp than if you used Custer Spar. A fusion button of
each of those spars shows that Neph Sy melts more than Custer spar. Neph
Sy melts at 1200 degrees centigrade and Custer spar melts slightly
higher at 1250 degrees centigrade.=20

Bill=20
