Hi Pat,

I copied this from Ron Roy on Clayart (didn't save the date)

Yes - both glazes are low expanders - not hard to fix if you have some experience with glaze calculation.

The first one is easy - just take out the spodumene and replace it G200 - move the Old Mine 4 up to 27.8 and the silica down to 17.8 - the new total will be 110.1 (the old total is 111.1.)

Nutmeg ^6 White Satin ^ 6
Dolomite 23.30 Gerstly Borate 31.63
Spodumene 23.30 Talc 13.95
Frit 3134 6.80 Kona F4 F.spar 19.80
OM4 ball clay 23.30 Kaolin 4.98 >

Red Iron Oxide 1.07 Zircopax 5.11 >
Yellow Ocher 3.24 Bentonite 1.99 >
Tin Oxide 4.85 > Bentonite 1.94

BTW, I ran Ron's suggested changes through Insight and his solution raises the thermal expansion significantly to avoid dunting/shivering. I'd try Ron's recipe and test, test, test.

Cheers, Linda Ferzoco

bit of searching.

I Would be very interested in trying it on my new body which is arriving =
soon from Spencrofts . U.K.=20

This fairly knackered 45yr old frame will womanfully struggle on and =
hope that the nice delivery person won't just dump half a ton of clay =
in the middle of a c road and clear off, like the last one did =20

In the other postings sent by randy in SC, it mentions that the
glazes get mixed together in the ratio of 2/3 Nutmeg to 1/3 whit
satin matt.to make it darker, decrease the proportion of white satin
mat to about one quarter or less. Now I forgot to ask, is the glases
first mixed and sieved separately or dry mixed in proportion to
parts than weights? Kathryn--- In clayart@yahoogroups.com, Linda -
