Default Rutile

Can anybody tell me if there is a chemical difference between dark and
light rutile? Also does anybody have experience in using either in their
glazes?

Thanks a million

Hi Uncle,
Dont know about the chemical differences, but in stoneware reduction you get
an "electric blue" chun effect. email me if you want the recipe and I'll
look it up for you. I made some sets ups a few years ago and did some
tri-axial blends and the results were stunning.

Regards

Kevin.

Go to http://www.matrix2000.co.nz/MaterialsWeb/default.htm and look in
the D's for dark rutile and the L's for light. The primary difference
is in the iron content 1.5% vs 0.5%.
