Randy's Clear glaze Recipe

You need about 10kg to fill a 5 gallon bucket. I would suggest you try a test first. I’ve been testing a similar clear base from “mastering cone 6 glazes” ;

Materials                                                   Amt                                            
PPS Fusion Frit F-12                                  25.00
PPS Feldspar Custer Potash                      22.00
PPS EPK                                                    18.00
PPS Silica 295 mesh                                  26.00
PPS Talc Silverline 303                                5.00
PPS Whiting (Calcium Carbonate)              4.00 
Total:                                                         100.00
I’ve modified it to change from frit 3134 to f-12 as 3134 may be very difficult to get in the future.

For every 100gm of dry materials start with 85 gm of water.

Date April 1 2024 -  Will be setting up a small batch first as Randy suggests.

Target SG is 1.45, this is a dipping glaze at that.  It does tend to settle quickly, so mix well before you dip.  It needs a fairly thick application, it can crawl a little or turn brown if it's not applied thickly enough.

This is a Cone 6 glaze

The inside is straight red oilspot.  The running blue-to white comes from layering a band of Spectrum Running Hot Chowder over it.  It sure is running, but that's probably my favorite combo!

G3806F - Fluid melt clear

Taken from https://insight-live.com/insight/share.php?z=gbcM8HXmX2 via digital fire

I like this clear over underglazes, as it is a cone 6 clear that is designed to stay fluid at firing temperatures for a while to let out any offgasing bubbles from the underglaze.  Microbubbles from offgasing make underglaze designs appear cloudy or gray, this keeps the colours a bit brighter.  That link has a variety of different recipe versions, most of which include additives for color I don't use in the clear version for dipping.
