Does anybody have any experience with taking this underglaze to cone 6?
Yeah, I know it's meant for low-fire, but I'm hoping...

Hi Carole,
CC165 works fine at higher temperatures, except that it becomes more
brown the higher you go. At cone 9 it is more of a brown-black that
the original black.

Duncan used to print a flyer with a
description of all their products when
fired to ^6. I had one, years ago, from
a local distributor - very handy.

I'm not sure what color CC-165 is, but
generally speaking, everything but the
bright reds, purples and 'neon' yellow
and green does pretty well at ^6 in
oxidation. Purples often turn blue,
and reds get 'bleached'. Reduction
affected some of the greens (presumably
copper-based), and tended to kill the
redder colors. The choice of covering glaze
(if any) has a big effect, too, on what
each color will look like - far more
effect than the choice of glaze at lower
temperatures.

This is one of those... just try it type things. I wondered if the new
concepts colors would go to cone 10 so we did a full pallet of all we could
get our hands on. Guess what, the red goes clear to cone 10 and is quite
red. If anyone wants to see a photo, I can post it on my web site.
In general, the best way to answer this kind of question is to try it with
your materials and firing process.

Hi Carole,
If I am not mistaken cc165 is the black? Yes, it can go to cone 6 no problem

Sorry for not being more specific... the color is black. I am planning to
use it under a cone 6 celadon glaze.

I would be happy if it turned brown.

And I am an idiot for taking a commissioned job for something I've never
done before and having to do it in less than two weeks. It's for the public
school system and I'm a sucker. I guess I should keep my fingers crossed,
but it gets really hard to get any work done like that!
