"correction"

You are right!
The best way is to use a ceramic software.
I have about 5 or six borax frits.
Mike Bailey him selves is giving analysis in his book.
If you need a help E mail me the recipe or better the formula.
I have the book I don't know where.

Hello Randy.
Which correction? Bailey himselves tells you to adjust the glazes even if he has not
done so; You claybody is not from England, The minerals are slightly different. So are
the results.
I call you recipes lovers again: These two ^6 books can give you rather
comprehensive look at glazing ^6 as well as all cones - tools to understand the
glazing - the recipes are the examples - the starting point!

>ok. here's one of those fabulous tips from fools like me who want to be a potter,

>yup, i just found the appendix in Bailey's book.

>useful thing, that.

>i asked what high alkaline frit to use in his HA1, High Alkaline Glaze.

>well, according to his appendi
x, i can use Ferro 3110, which i just happen to have.

>then i also want to test some glazes with his GA13 Clear Base (page 104 in my
>copy)... a cone 6 glaze...

>calls for 9% high alkaline frit
>and 9% calcium borate frit.

>looking in that same, very helpful appendix, i can use Ferro 3110 again for the high
>alkaline frit and Ferro 3124 for the calcium borate frit.

>looks like i could also use GB instead of the 3124.

>usual disclaimer... i'm a dummy...

>here's the question... are these the frits you would use?

>at the end of the day, our pantry has the folowing frits

>3110
>3124
>3134
>3195

>from some scribbled notes of mine, looks like 3134 and 3195 also have calcium
>borate... why wouldn't i use either of these... and when would i use them?

>as usual, your help is greatly appreciated.

>thanks.
