Cone 6 Glazes WITHOUT Gertsley Borate?

Hey Wayne,

If you check out John's slide show from the conference he show's his current
firing schedule. It's different than on the website for the book.

I must have missed the element thread, thanks for alerting me, I'll go check
it out.

I think she means she controlled the rate of cooling. The key to
success with John and Ron's glazes is slow cooling. From 1900F down
to 1500F they suggest a temperature drop of about 125 degrees per
hour.

I tested it on a white stoneware and used ceramic grade rutile.
When I get time I'll make another test with light rutile. I also
fired down, so it wasn't the firing or the claybody.

Bert and all:
Ron and John have come up with a new firing schedule, based on various
kiln manufacturers observations that slow cooling can reduce the life
of electric
kiln elements. The new firing schedule is posted on their website.
I didn't really pay much attention, since I fire cone 10, but it was a
fairly
recent Clayart thread. Sure would like to get the same
colors at ^10 that you all get at ^6 :)

Here is the direct link, but you might like to go through the whole slide
presentation. It is very interesting.

Yes, that was well worth the visit. Thank you for pointing it out. I had
assumed I knew that site and did not page down to see the new additions.
