Notes
*Last one not quite vitreous enough. This increases feldspar by 2% at the expense of kaolin. The porosity is the most similar to H550, however the surface has not greyed to the same extent.

Notes
*The previous version, L2596F, was not quite vitreous enough again. This increases feldspar from 22 to 24, silica 30 to 28 and switches from M-23 to KT1-4 ball clay.
This version is certainly the most vitreous so far, being more vitreous than H550. We have not made fired test bars yet, but plenty of pottery has been done.

Total:102.25
Notes
*Custer Feldspar is not available right now so I am reformulating using Nepheline Syenite instead (it is more potent as a flux so less is needed). I am also reducing the silica (28% seems too much for a cone 10 body). Imco C-Red is also being used to gray the color, it does not gel the slurry like iron oxide does. This recipe is likely to need tuning, that will be evident when we see the porosity figures from the SHAB test.
This deflocculates extremely well. The first test batch had 3000 powder, 1200 water, 18 Darvan (proportions of 100:40:0.6).
No ilmenite was included because of settling issues last time, I am thinking of applying it as an engobe later in the process or as a first layer in the casting process.
