Common Gerstley Borate Glossy Glazes
Project Name Gerstley Borate low temperature glazes Project Codenumber UnAssigned Notes Since Gerstley Borate has a high LOI and it seems logical that it would tend to create bubbles and imperfections in low fire glazes. However, in practice it is amazing how transparent and crystal clear some of the glazes based on it can be. This is a testament to how well it melts, even at firing temperatures below cone 06. |

Gerstley Borate Raku Base NS/GB
Total:100.00 Auto Unity Formula
Notes *While there are many variations on this base, the 50:50 GB:Nepheline mix is typical. We have seen versions all the way to 80% GB and 20% Nepheline. This range of blends melts very well at cone 06 and most are remarkably stable and bubble free. The higher the nepheline syenite the greater the crazing (a desired effect in many raku applications).
