It might just work if you adjust the thickness.June Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431678118459690271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638497050839732163.post-15632543308096539032009-09-04T21:20:59.217-04:002009-09-04T21:20:59.217-04:00Well, the cut and paste left out this information ...Well, the cut and paste left out this information which might be helpful.

I guess I should review J.B.'s notes to see how it *should* turn out, eh?<br /><br />Did I mention this will be an elec firing?<br /><br />I like that it is satin, since the original masks seem to be matt. It's not like 4th graders would know the difference. I guess I should keep their expectations low. It's the right thing to do.Kari Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903445104641842283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638497050839732163.post-36298169858627123002009-09-04T20:25:26.294-04:002009-09-04T20:25:26.294-04:00Kari, someone posted this ^6 clear satin last week...Kari, someone posted this ^6 clear satin last week on Clayart. We're thinking of testing it soon at Odyssey. If you end up using it, let me know how it is. <br /><br />Marian<br /><br /><br /><br />Thanks to Roxanne Hunnicutt for passing this glaze along.<br /><br />Leach's Satin Clear Cone 6 Test. Cone 6 touching shelf. Mixed consistency<br />of milk.<br />This is a great smooth satin finish glaze. Waxy feeling with two thin<br />coats. Very clear, but will get milky clear with more than two coats. Very<br />nice glaze. Cobalt carb brush marks did not run over or under glaze. Best<br />satin clear I have ever found and tried. No crazing or pinholes on<br />Highwater Desert Buff clay. I did change her recipe to 100%. Should make a<br />nice base glaze also.<br /><br />Thanks again Roxanne<br /><br />Recipe Name: Leach Satin Clear<br /><br />Cone: 6 Color: Clear<br />Firing: Oxidation Surface: Satin<br /><br />Amount Ingredient<br />21.7 Feldspar--Custer<br />21.7 Whiting<br />21.7 Silica<br />21.7 Kaolin--EPK<br />13.2 Frit--Ferro 3124<br /><br />100 TotalMarian Parkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00229954054098941106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638497050839732163.post-13980207886832819782009-09-04T20:21:05.461-04:002009-09-04T20:21:05.461-04:00There is a cone 6 clear in this month's Cerami...There is a cone 6 clear in this month's Ceramics Monthly.
