...or AWWG for short. If you recall, one of my favorite glazes, Wax White, was failing to fully flux unless I reached full 11 - and my kiln has some cool spots where I am lucky to get to 9. This most recent firing was more even, but I still don't want to fire to Cone 11. So, I repalced half of the Custer Feldspar in the recipe with Nephelyne Syenite. And, lo, it worked! The surface had the same buttery quality that I love, but it was completely smooth at Cone 9. Here it is:
AWWG Cone 9
20.5 Custer Spar
20.5 Neph Sy
12 Gerstley Borate
7 Dolomite
15 Talc
5 Tennesee Ball Clay
20 Silica
Add: Zircopax, 5%
For the variation here, add 0.5% chrome.
