Howdy,

Okay, got the glazes but I don't have any of that fancy technical information on them with silica/alumina ratio and all that. Just punch it into yer fancy dancy glaze software and you'll have it in a flash. A note on thickness, my texture is pretty deep, if your texture is more suttle I highly suggest spraying these glazes, especially the Shaner Rain. Let me know how they work for you.

Shaner Rain Cone 10

Cornwall stone-----------45
Dolomite------------------30
Silica----------------------18.5
EPK------------------------6
Rutile----------------------7

A gloss glaze, looks great on porcelain as well as stonewares. a little runny, especially when other glazes on top.
Can pit when too thick.

Shaner Gold/Red Cone 10

Custer Feldspar---------52
EPK-----------------------7
Calcined Kaolin----------16
Whiting-------------------21
Talc-----------------------4
Red Iron Oxide----------2.5
Rutile---------------------2.5
Bone Ash-----------------3

A matt glaze, gold where thick, a brick red where thin.

Woo Blue Cone 10

Whiting------------17.84
Custer Feldspar--41.5
Ball clay-----------72.8
Silica--------------26.7
Bentonite---------1
RIO----------------4.4
Rutile--------------4.1

A gloss glaze, blue jean blue(new) where thick, golden brown where thin. Looks great on both porcelain and stonewares.

Good luck
