 | Overview Overview of what INSIGHT does and how it works, a tour of the main dialogs and controls | |
| | Lesson 1A: Entering Recipes and Basic Chemistry Theory Entering recipes, materials and the materials database, theoretical materials, formulas, oxides, unity | |
| | Lesson 1B: Turning a feldspar into a glaze Target formulas, feldspar chemistry, thermal expansion, supplying oxides to a formula from a material, getting detailed material and oxide information and oxide and material level rationalization | |
| | Lesson 1C: Material Selection Issues Calcium carbonate and LOI, alternate sourcing for an oxide, non-participant recipe materials, opacifiers and colorants, material and oxide property overriding, MDT materials inclusion | |
| | Lesson 2: Turning a Glossy Glaze Into a Matte Side-by-side recipes, targets, matte glaze chemistry and theory, supplying oxides in order, expansion issues, status characters, formula tuning, frit selection and substitution, static materials, analysis and mole%, solubility and leaching | |
| | Lesson 3: Dealing With the Root Cause of Crazing What is crazing, thermal expansion and crazing, researching oxides and identifying material sources, reducing KNaO, substituting MgO for other fluxes, adding SiO2, incorporating Li2O, second-guessing INSIGHT, adding boron, frit oxide sourcing, Silica:Alumina ratio | |
| | Lesson 4: Adding to the Materials Database, Building a Glaze From an Added Native Volcanic Ash Entering an analysis, LOI compensation, material lab analysis issues, analyzing a materials chemistry, adding to the MDT, building a glaze from a native material, chemistry formulation vs. blending, matching targets | |
| | Lesson 5A: Formula to Batch Non-unity calculation, the language of formulas, normalization, formula to analysis dialog, supply button, material ordering, material oxide sourcing, KNaO vs. K2O/Na2O, side-by-side report | |
| | Lesson 5B: Difficult Formula to Batch Mole%, formula to analysis dialog, Eppler’s Glazes and Glass Coatings, oxide oversupply, finding the right frit, using ceramicmaterials.info, Na2O sourcing | |
| | Lesson 6: Substituting Gerstley Borate in Floating Blue Gerstleyborate.com, Frit and Ulexite boron sourcing, floating blue glaze recipe, re-totaling, maintaining colorant percentages | |
| | Lesson 7A: Formulating Substitution Rules with Whiting and Wollastonite Using the supply button in a different way, using no-unity in both recipes, and looking at LOI issues and learning to spot obvious problems. | |
| | Lesson 7B: Substituting Feldspar for Nepheline Syenite Feldspar for nepheline syenite substitution, KNaO vs. K2O/Na2O evaluation, substitution rules vs. in-recipe substitution, calculation and melt flow testing | |
| | Lesson 8: Reducing the firing temperature of a Cone 6 glaze Cone 6 glazes, researching glaze melting at digitalfire.com, boron sourcing from a frit and boron limits, watching thermal expansion when adding flux, using the Find-supplier button, calculating glaze cost |
 | Downloading and Installing INSIGHT for Windows Downloading will keep you up-to-date, anyone can do it | |
| | Trying a New INSIGHT Version (without disturbing one that is already installed) If you already have INSIGHT, you should download and try the new version before installing it over your existing version. | |
| | Downloading and Installing for Macintosh Downloading will keep you up-to-date, anyone can do it. The process is the same for first or subsequent times. | |
| | Downloading and Installing Adobe Reader Adobe reader is the eBook reader you need to read the INSIGHT manual | |
| | Logging in at Digitalfire.com Learn how to sign-up for a free login password to you can download INSIGHT and how to recover a forgotten or lost password | |
| | Buying INSIGHT at Digitalfire.com It is secure and easy | |
| | Locating Old and New Version INSIGHT Folders and Files in Windows If you are upgrading from INSIGHT 2005 or older, this shows you how to move files and folders to the new place INSIGHT expects to see that at, how to locate the old program folder. |
 | Using the new CSV Materials File Format Edit materials data externally from INSIGHT using Microsoft Excel or equivalent | |
| | Getting an Up-to-date Area Specific MDT file from CeramicMaterials.Info The MDT is INSIGHT's Materials Definition Table, its materials database | |
| | Finding, Comparing and Exporting Material Chemistries at CeramicMaterials.Info We concentrate our material information gathering efforts at this website |
