This is my first mailing to this list (great excitement ). I am
trying to develop a number of base glazes with an optimal firing
temperature of 1160 C. Thus far I have been less than impressed
with my results.
Once I have a few base glazes (dry; glossy; matt, etc) I can tweak
them to fit the body I use; add colorants etc. If you have a glaze
that fits the above requirement and you are willing to share I would
be most grateful.
TIA Lloyd

Lloyd,
Have a look at http://www.gartside.info/briansbasicglaze.htm and also
http://www.gartside.info/clayglazeintro.htm browse the whole site for
more glaze and glaze texture info.
it contains the basic ingredients to make a very "good natured glaze"
that performs well at a wide range of temperatures.
Please note that it contains volume measurements so you do not need your scales
I have been using that glaze for many years. It can take any stain
that you desire . It uses "down under" minerals so you may have to
translate here and there.
Frit Ferro 4108 is the same as 3134 in your language
