Library: Reducing the Firing Temperature or a Cone 6 Glaze

This chapter in the lessons section of the book (and matching video at digitalfire.com) shows you how to make a melt fluidity tester and how to find out which materials in a recipe are contributing a particular oxide to the formula. It also shows how to increase the amount of B2O3 in the formula by a specific amount by adding a frit and then juggle other materials to restore the rest of the chemistry (caused by the increase in other oxides introduced by the frit).
