I really appreciate you sharing this with the public. I'm an engineer so i have quite a bit of knowledge of material sciences and general/inorganic chemistry but im a complete amateur with pottery. The most I've done so far is refine clay from the dirt in my backyard but i started wondering about custom glaze recipes and realized i know nothing about the components of glazes. Pottery is such a wonderful intersection of art and science

Nice video, for the water portion you can make on the glaze on the thicker side, measure the specific gravity, and test diluting it with more water and test multiple test tiles to find the right specific gravity.

Can I ask - why would you add two different fluxes? Why not just put one in and double the quantity?

@@Rubzter2495 in-case you're still wondering, a proper glaze generally needs two sources of fluxes. on the periodic table, some of the elements we use for fluxes are under the 'alkali metals' column, and some fall under the 'alkaline earth metals' column. the ratio of these two types of metals in the glaze will determine the durability of the glass. If you only use alkali metals, you will have a glassy surface that is not durable (the metal oxides for colorants that can be harmful will leach out). alkaline earth metals help reduce the solubility and increase the durability of the glaze. When in proper ratio (30:70 for the most durable glass), your glass should not leach harmful colorants, and will be able to withstand your dishwasher.

Thank you for uploading this. I'm wondering if that base glaze recipe is for cone 6 oxidation or cone 10?
