So... I've run into a really interesting brick wall within the #glaze community.
I asked if anyone knew if there was a table that charted the ratio of boron to silica and alumina necessary to melt it at a given temperature.
Oh, they said, it so much depends on what glaze you're talking about. Oh, you don't understand. Oh, buy some Ferro Frits and shut up. Oh, why aren't you firing at cone 10 anyway? You're not a real ceramicist if you don't.
But did I get an answer?
No. No I did not. 1/
