Rehabilitate first, then adopt and take them home!

Many come to Insight-live after bad experiences trying to rescue glaze recipes abandoned on social media. Better to use some recipe logic to rehabilitate them and then give them a loving home. Glazy "Red Orange #111576" is an example of an "adoption" that I did.
It has two things I avoid: Lithium Carbonate (expense) and a high percentage of red iron (slurry gelling). Spodumene is a better source of Li2O, but it contributes lots of Al2O3 and SiO2. We can "make room" for it by replacing the feldspar with Ferro frit 3110 (the latter contributes much more sodium and much less Al2O3/SiO2 than the feldspar). Second, use black iron instead of red.
The results using the C6IRED schedule were fabulous. And the cost is way down. Amazingly, black iron does not gel the slurry at all! And it is not nearly as messy as the red. Like any iron red, it needs to go on thick and has a fluid melt; that's a recipe for running (so a catch glaze is needed). Two pluses: The thermal expansion is lower, so crazing is less likely. The LOI is much lower, which should minimize bubbling.
