Oringal Alberta Slip Amber/Honey base
Recipe
Notes
Don't use this glaze anymore as a transparent honey, use GA6-B instead (it produces a better glass and is more durable by virtue of higher Al2O3 and SiO2 content). The was a long-time cone 6 base recipe for Alberta Slip. For this and the GA6-B we recommend a 2% iron oxide addition to get a richer color. Fusion Frit F-12 has proven a good substitute for 3134. This version is still needed for a couple of reasons: 1. This one produces rutile blues in the cool-and-soak C6DHSC firing schedule (likely because this has a lower Al2O3 level, enabling the crystallization of the TiO2 in the rutile). 2. This is also the only version that crystallizes in slow cool firings (e.g. the C6DHSC schedule).
