<p>I prefer Tony Hansen's silky ^6 clear using Ferro Frit 3249 with 12% magnesium oxide or the similar frit F-69.</p>

<p>I often add the additional 3% magnesium carbonate shown below.</p>

<p>I often add the additional 3% magnesium carbonate shown below.</p>
<p>24.8% Kaolin<br/> 23.8% Silica<br/> 23.2% Ferro Frit 3134<br/> 15.2% Wollastonite<br/> 8.6% Feldspar, Soda Minspar 200<br/> 3.0% Magnesium Carbonate</p>
<p></p>
<p>This glaze contains only 6.7% Boron Oxide contributed by the frit. Quite a number of other cone 6 clear recipes have far more boron and so can tend to develop the bluish white borosilicate crystals known as "boron-clouding" making the glaze opaque in areas, or worse can develop crazing.</p>
<p></p>
<p>A quick and easy solution can be a combination of Ferro Frit 3134 with kaolin, at a ratio of say 70% / 30% depending on how fluid you want the clear to peak temperature.<br/> <br/> <cite>Nadine Mercader said:</cite></p>
