Finally got enough pots to do another firing. This time it was cone 6 with "Strontium Crystal Magic - Cool" (unmodified) from the recipes on the Steven Hill DVD. The other glazes are Hannah's Blue Ash, Water Color Blue, and Jen's Juicy Fruit (with iron) sprayed lightly over everything else. The liners are Mayco Oyster and Green Tea.
I used these glazes on two types of stoneware (Mile Hi Ash and Laguna Whitestone) and three types of porcelain (Mile Hi Aspen, Laguna Frost, and "The Coup" from Matt and Dave's Clays). I had really good luck with all the porcelains and fairly poor luck with both types of stoneware (craters and pinholes even though I bisque fired to cone 03). I think I'm done with anything other than porcelain for SCM.
Firing schedule was:
400/hr to 2070
100/hr to 2165 hold 1 hr
9999/hr to 1700
50/hr to 1600 hold 1 hr
50/hr to 1500.
Total firing time approx 13 1/2 hrs.
