I've tried a lot of methods, and the most similar recipe is.<br />
Glass 70.<br />
Kaolin 30.<br />
Fine silicon carbide 1.<br />
Copper carbonate 5.<br />
The effect is as shown in the picture.<br />
The problem is that the presence of SIC, in the formula can also cause copper carbonate to turn red in the glaze in an oxidizing atmosphere. Is it possible that it does not need to be made with SIC?<br />
The first picture is the sample picture, and the other two are the results I tried.

<p>My kiln overtired probably Cone 6&1/2. A lot of my stuff in the middle 2 trays came out muddy and dark with the glazes not doing what was expected. Would refiring at Cone 5 brighten up the colours any?</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>It has been awhile, but I have been very busy reacting to the advice given with great success, . This was exactly what I needed to do Norm. The clay restoration from slip to wheelwork experiment was done with 2x additions and I tested Bentonite Calcium 100# as well as Bentonite Calcium, "albeit at double the cost "..the. 300#. There has been no noticeable difference between the 2 grades. I have thus decided to go with the cheaper 100# Bentonite.</p>

<p>For a detailed recipe and technique go to the brilliant article by: Thomas Anderson as follows.</p>

<p>Also a summarized method below:</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">SUPERCHARGE THE PLASTICITY OF CONE 6 RECLAIMED CLAY</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Reclaimer contents is as follows:</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">50% Bentonite and 50% ball clay.</span></strong></p>
<p>Remember to mix these 2 powders together in a plastic bag by shaking well. Bentonite is almost impossible to mix with slip or water slurry because of incredibly fine particles. This new powder will now mix readily with water to form clay on plaster with similar feel to clay that needs "repair".</p>
<p>These proportions fire as a tan-buff stoneware at cone 6.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Method:</span></strong></p>
<p>Mix in 50 grams of above <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">"reclaimer"</span></strong> stock, to 1kg of problem, gel-like clay to fix it for wheelwork.</p>
<p>Flatten both "patties" on a bat and fold both into each other 20 times to create 1 million layers! (wedging or pugging should do)</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Result:</span></strong> Perfectly even throwing clay and incredibly plastic!</p>
<p>Note: The wobbly, shearing, thixotropic effect of the Darvan recycled slip is gone!!!!</p>

<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I will be buying my first kiln ever in a few months and I was wondering if I could get some advice. I want to fire at cone 6. My choice is between a Rodhe Ecotop 60LS (III) Kw5,0 and a Nabertherm Top 80 (III) Kw 5,5, they fit my price range. I am writing because I have read somewhere that a Rodhe Ecotop 60LS don't perform well for firing regularly high temperature glazes.

I find the controller of the Nabertherm series a bit confusing, the Rodhe TC304 is much simpler to me. What would you advice for a first time kiln? I am in Europe, Spain. Any advice welcome.

<p>Any idea why the glaze is moving like this?</p>
<p>I mixed a large quantity of this glaze early year and I have been using it since. In the past Ididn't have a problem with this batch or previous batches The only difference I can think of is when I used my sitter kiln I couldn't slow down the cooling as well as I can with my controller kiln. About an 1-1/2 to 2 hours longer on the later</p>

<p>One confusing aspect is with the last firing only two very small pots of 20 pots (various sizes) with this glaze were effected.</p>
<p><br/> A few firings ago 1 large bowl of many had this problem.<br/> Three different clay bodies, Standard's 112, 225 and 240</p>
<p>In these photos I'm using 240, If you look closely the bottom of the pot is still white. In the area where the glaze has crawled away from the pot you'll see brown specks and brown edges. Its my thinking that is from the red iron oxide and the rutile.</p>
