Shaner Red Recipes

Someone was asking for Shaner Red and green glaze recipes- Here are some. These are just slight variations like EPK or Tile -6 for the ball clay and more or less talc or bone ash. Test THIN on porc, stone ware and dark stoneware as well as medium and thick. I think the thin on dark stoneware is the most iconic (rust red with bits of yellow):
