Heck, I've been trying to find out just what frit would be best to use in
a glaze recipe calling for soda frit (see below) and looked through three
books and my Hyperglaze software and am a bit more confused now than when
I thought I knew the answer...Suggestions, please!

New Tyler Amber ^6 ox
soda frit 20
red clay 60
Gerstley b. 20

I think P283 IS a soda frit. I know that Bailey sells it under some other
number--G something. I am keeping your message to check,becaue I may have
P283 analysis in one of the notebooks I ahve with me. You can call
Bailey; they ahve 800#

Sounds like a Richard Zakin cone 6 glaze from his Electric Kiln Ceramics
book. The Soda frit referred to is Ferro 3110.

Jonathan,
Have you considered the possibility that it just an error in the recipe and
what is really meant is a soda spar?

Jonathen,
I think they mean a frit which is high in Na2O
For example Ferro Frit 3134 has
Na2O .317
CaO .683
B2O3 .633
SiO2 1.475
Ferro Frit 3278
Na2O .667
CaO .333
B2O3 .839
SiO2 2.529
There are many others to choose from.
This illustrates well the problem of giving just recipes (in this case
not even a precise recipe) and not also including an analysis with the
recipe. Only with an analysis is it reasonable that others who have
different sources of supply, and Clayart subscribers are world wide, can
one hope to reproduce glazes. One could extend this problem to talking
about the thickness of application and of course the firing, but these
are others issues.
As all subscribers to Clayart have a computer they also have the
capability of using one of the many glaze programs which would enable
them give an analysis with any recipe that they wish to quote. It would
be a great help, particularly to those in different parts of the world
as well as helping to answer your question.

Appendix A of Richard Zakin's book Electric Kiln Ceramics where this recipie
is published recommends Ferro 3110 when he specifies soda frit and
incidentally Cedar Heights Red Art for red clay. Works for me.
