Hi Guys:

I'm doing my annual look over glaze recipes I've been collecting, and
found some strange ingredients I hope you help me find local (Canadian)
subs for:

Tennessee Ball Clay #7
Godfrey Feldspar

I got this off clayart some time back. Any comments would be greatly
appreciated

Peach Bloom (untested) 9-10 no atmosphere given

301.7 Godfrey Feldspar
41.2 Gerstley Borate
45 Whiting

Copper ox (.03%) 1.16
Tin oxide (1%) 3.87

I have no idea who posted this or what surface I might expect. Can
anyone help?

TIA!!

Hello Sam,

substitute for Godfrey Spar by the following proportion,
for 1% of it:

Custer Spar 0.570%
Silica 0.250%
Whiting 0.060%
Clay 0.120%
Total 1.000%

Ball clays in glazes can be substituted one for another,
it is not the same for clays.

Later,
