NotesDavid Shaners cone 6 floating blue has been used for many years by thousands of potters. However it contains gerstley borate which is no longer available (see GerstleyBorate.com for information in this classic recipe and the material). In addition it is a temperamental recipe and is prone to blistering. This version is much more reliable and has all the other benefits afforded by a high Ravenscrag content.
Application should be thin to medium and a fast cool down is required to prevent crystallization. It can be fired to cone 5 or 6.
