Does anyone have a clear cone 6 oxidation glaze for Standard clay 182? I
have a couple of hundred pounds left, always had trouble with glazes
crazing on that particular body. Technical help at Standard said it was
tough to get a glaze that fit well for 182. I should be making some mugs
out of that body before Christmas, but I'd just as soon not fuss over the
glaze if someone else has already done it successfully. TIA, CNC
PS My new E mail address (cncpots@capital.net) better than husband Tom's
"caboose" which I stole for a while. And in case someone is unhappy over my
use of maiden name along with first and married name, it's because it
explains the "CNC" with which I sign my pots. And the Nygren is not to be
snobbish. It's a way of carrying on a family name which has died out
because of women in the family who have taken husbands' names.

the use of double name was pretentious...)

Carolyn,
When you spoke with Julie at Standard, did you ask her if their clear glaze
powder (which I call commercial clear) works on this clay? I use their ^6
white stoneware #181 and don't have this problem, but I usually only use
clear glaze when I make agateware. I use a simple clear which crazes when
applied thickly.
Glaze name: Simple Clear
Cone: 6
Color: Transparent Clear
Surface texture: Shiny or Glossy
Firing: Oxidation
Recipe: Percent Batch
Gerstley Borate 44.64 2232
EPK 26.79 1340
Flint (325m) 28.57 1428
Totals: 100.00 % 5000 gm
I also think it's none of anyone's business what name or names you choose to
use.
