Notes

You can change the ratio of these ingredients to suit your individual needs and tastes, within certain parameters. The more frit you use (relative to the other ingredients), the lower will be the maturing point of the glaze. The more silica you use (as mentioned earlier), the less the glaze may tend to craze, but the fewer the crystals you will produce. You can see from the composition of zinc silicate, Zn2SiO4, that for every two atoms of zinc oxide, we need one of silica to get a crystal molecule. Aside from the silica that is needed for the crystals, additional silica is needed for the glaze itself; so one must make sure one has enough. Raising and lowering the amount of zinc oxide in a glaze will directly affect how many crystals the glaze will be able to grow. Adding additional oxides/carbonates such as those of titanium, calcium, tin and so on will affect opacity, crystal size and shape, ancillary development and color.

Maintain your recipe database on-line

  • Login to a private account or work with others in a group account (e.g. university).
  • Nothing to install (access it using your web browser). It is always the latest version.
  • Easy to import your existing data.
  • As many side-by-side recipes as you want.
  • Many ways to search and classify glaze and body recipes.
  • Glaze and body recipes are robust, with units-of-measure, unlimited pictures with individual titles and descriptions.
  • Add variations to a recipe; each with its own pictures, descriptions and name/code-number extensions.
  • Recipes can link to typecodes, projects and firing schedules (all managed in their own areas).
  • Standard reports and mix ticket reports with last-minute-totalling; variations report as if they are a complete recipe.
  • Video tutorials, help system, contact form on every page, dedicated messaging and support ticket systems.
  • It is an industrial-strength database system (unlimited capacity, fast, reliable, scalable).

Imports many file formats

  • Glaze recipe formats supported: HyperGlaze, GlazeGhem, GlazeMaster, Matrix, INSIGHT XML recipes (single and multiple), INSIGHT SQLite DB files.
  • Assign a batch number to imports, and later search by batch.
  • Assign multiple typecodes to imported glaze and body batches (to classify) and search on these later.
  • Prepend character sequences to glaze recipe names during import.
  • Import the pictures and pair them to their corresponding records automatically.
  • One click to automatically export the database to an SQLite DB database file and download it (for use with desktop INSIGHT or just as a backup).
  • Export and import individual glaze recipes as text or XML.

Perfect for Education

  • Ceramic study programs can now accumulate material, recipe and testing data year-after-year, students can login and together build a valuable ceramic glaze and body knowledge resource.
  • Students already have internet connected devices, computers are not even needed in the class.
  • The Reference Manager gives you quick access to the Digitalfire Ceramic Reference Database.
