GC106 Base for Crystalline Glazes
This base can give extremely brilliant colors; I’ve had particular success with red copper oxide. I’ve also noticed that cobalt is far less likely to felt up when used with this glaze, even when a large amount of colorant is used. Mixtures incorporating ilmenite and/or rutile work very well with this recipe, giving very large, quickly growing crystals. The crystals do not show the variation in shape one sees with the Ferro 3110 based glazes.
| Step | °C | °F | Hold | Time | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100°C/hr to 200C | 180°F/hr to 392F | 0 | 2:02 | |
| 2 | 250°C/hr to 500C | 450°F/hr to 932F | 0 | 3:14 | |
| 3 | 500°C/hr to 1275C | 900°F/hr to 2327F | 0 | 4:47 | |
| 4 | 9999°C/hr to 1130C | 17998°F/hr to 2066F | 15min | 5:03 | |
| 5 | 30°C/hr to 1075C | 54°F/hr to 1967F | 0 | 6:53 |
"Fahrenheit degrees" is not the same as "degrees Fahrenheit". A 100° reading on a Fahrenheit thermometer is equal to a 37° reading on a Celcius thermometer. But "100 Fahrenheit degrees of temperature change" is equivalent "55 Celsius degrees of change". That is an important distinction to understand the above temperature conversions.

My 106 based “Shimbo Green”
This picture has its own page with more detail, click here to see it.
With a little iridescence from post-fire raku. The green is a true emerald green and very brilliant. Crystals do form very fast, however, and I have seen them attain an entire centimeter in diameter in as little as fifteen minutes
