Ravenscrag Cone 6 White Glossy
Recipe
Notes
A white base glaze with all the advantages of Ravenscrag Slip base GR6-A. It is not drab-looking like a porcelain toilet, but is vibrant and interesting on stoneware bodies. It breaks to clear on the edges of contours and has variegation. It works well with added stains, the variegation of this base (adding a little titanium dioxide) makes the color much more interesting. Adjust the amount of zircopax as needed to adjust the degree of whiteness. Recently we have begun using a mix of tin and zircopax (3% and 5%) to minimize crawling. Because it contains an opacifier, this can be a base for the addition of colorants to produce pastel colors (adding them to the transparent base will produce deeper more brilliant colors). We recommend stains rather than metal oxides. For mixing instructions please see the master recipe, GR6-A. Consider using G2926B clear with added Zircopax if this recipe does not produce the degree of whiteness and homogeneity you need.
