Notes

This type of glaze is very difficult to achieve at cone 6 since the chrome and tin require high calcium, zero zinc and low boron. Bases that work fine with other colors will often produce grey with chrome-tin pink or maroon stains or oxide combinations. Glazes that do work in this system are normally highly fritted so the chemistry is sympathetic to the color development, however such glazes are often difficult to work with. This base is the opposite, it has beautiful working properties, you can do multiple layers and it has all the other benefits imparted by a high Ravenscrag Slip content.

Medium to medium thick application is best. Breaks clear around edges to highlight irregularities in the surface.

  • Nothing to install (access it using your web browser). It is always the latest version.
  • Easy to import your existing data.
  • As many side-by-side recipes as you want.
  • Many ways to search and classify glaze and body recipes.
  • Glaze and body recipes are robust, with units-of-measure, unlimited pictures with individual titles and descriptions.
  • Add variations to a recipe; each with its own pictures, descriptions and name/code-number extensions.
  • Recipes can link to typecodes, projects and firing schedules (all managed in their own areas).
  • Standard reports and mix ticket reports with last-minute-totalling; variations report as if they are a complete recipe.
  • Video tutorials, help system, contact form on every page, dedicated messaging and support ticket systems.
  • It is an industrial-strength database system (unlimited capacity, fast, reliable, scalable).

Perfect for Education

  • Ceramic study programs can now accumulate material, recipe and testing data year-after-year, students can login and together build a valuable ceramic glaze and body knowledge resource.
  • Students already have internet connected devices, computers are not even needed in the class.
  • The Reference Manager gives you quick access to the Digitalfire Ceramic Reference Database.
