No explosions! You might have to test color depth a bit. I add less frit than oxide, although others add equal parts. Have fun.

Have you done a search on ceramics daily? Start there. I'm no familiar with this, so cannot help you.
In Topic: applying iron oxide to greenware

The general answer is Yes. But I advise you to add a flux, maybe Frit 3124, 3110 to help . As to how much/thin to apply there are some questions: Which iron oxide are you using? What color clay are you using? What cone do you expect to fire? Higher temp will burn more of it out.

I used a drill/mixer for years, right up til I did a major cleanup a few month ago and misplaced it. Coincidentally, just before that, I had also taken the advice of Mea and purchased plastic toilet brushes from the dollar store. I keep one in each bucket. They mixup the glaze so well that I haven't missed using the mixer. but I still want to know WTH the damn thing is!
In Topic: glaze chemical inventory control

Posted 22 May 2013

I do this is a FileMakker system I wrote. inventories from purchase through batch and a notice when I need to reorder. father FileAmaker Go App runs on Mac or Windows. If you have a smartphone or tablet and are inclined to purchase the App, I would make my system available to you.
