Needing to find a good black for cone 9 -10. Just dug out an old glaze
card that I had fooled with a bit in 1996 and thought it is time revive
some tests. This one was Tom coleman's Filly Black. Wonder if many
ceramists out there use it still and or is there some other nice black for
fun results as is or with other combinations. Thanks.

Thank you John,

I will give both the blacks a test sample in this upcoming glaze kiln and
see how I like them. I am not sure how they will do in cone 9 if they need
a strong 10 but I will certainly mix them up tomorrow and try them. Thank you.

Hi Lllewellyn,

There are a couple semimatte blacks for cone 10 on my web site that
have been leach tested and found to be quite stable. Go to

Scroll down and look for Worner Black and Waxy Black.

Regards,

John
