Cone 10 Ravenscrag Slip Glazes |
Home |
Ravenscrag by itself fires to an excellent cone 10 glaze, thus it makes a great base.
Test for leaching by placing your glaze sample in vinegar over night (or for a few days) to see if the color or surface has changed at all (if it leaches it may not be food safe depending on what materials are in the recipe). Also test for crazing by heating glaze samples to around 350F and then submerging them into room temperature water (do this 2 to 3 times).
