Pottery Plaster No. 1 produces break-resistant, smooth wearing molds for slip casting, jiggering, and press molds. The industry standard for making slip casting molds for ceramicware, sanitaryware, dinnerware, and fine china.
C$15.65
Nepheline Syenite has been a used in the ceramic industry for many years, and is known for the whiteness it imparts to clay bodies and increasing low to mid cone glaze firing ranges.
C$10.40
On paper, Fusion F-12 has a very similar chemistry to 3134.
C$8.15
Lithium Carbonate is used in ceramics as a source for Lithium in making glazes. A major flux for higher temperature (Cone 5-10) alkaline glazes, it tends to produce fluid glazes with glossy surfaces.
C$60.00
Gerstley Borate is a sodium-calcium-borate compound used in ceramics as a low and mid-range temperature flux. It is essentially a source of boron in glazes, and acts as a melting agent. It also can act somewhat as an opacifier and prevent crazing.
C$27.00
Frit 3134 consists of sodium, calcium and boron and is typically used in both transparent and opaque glazes. (also see Fusion Frit F-12 as a replacement - linked below.
C$8.15
This is a kaolin with intermediate particle size distribution. It contains low Fe2O3 and TiO2 content for applications where fired colour is critical. It has also proven useful in glaze applications.
C$12.00
Spectrum’s 1050 Underglaze Base is formulated as a base media for preparing your own underglaze colors similar to our 500 series underglazes.
C$13.00
"NEW SUPPLIER! Please Test Under your own conditions." When applied on greenware or bisque as a method of decoration, "resists" application of glaze, slip and underglaze.
C$8.75
This is a ceramic grade calcined Rutile, typically used when called for in glaze recipes. Rutile, a tan colourant containing a small amount of iron, is a natural source of titanium dioxide used in glazes.
C$23.65
Ravenscrag Slip is a silty low iron clay, it applies evenly, drains drip-free, dries hard, does not settle. Mixed with water alone, makes a nice semi-matte cone 10 clear glaze.
C$6.80
Bentonite is a fine powder that is a grey-tan color. As typical for ceramic use, this is a sodium bentonite and is a common additive to both glaze and clay. Use in small percentages to aid clay body plasticity and glaze suspension.
C$9.85
Alberta Slip duplicates the firing properties of Albany Slip and is an excellent base for many types of glazes.
C$9.75
Silica (Flint) 200 Mesh is a purified version of this much used material of glaze and claybody formulation. In clay and glazes, Flint provides the melting, or glassifying agents in a claybody that allow the material to fuse together.
C$11.30
Tile Clay #6 (6 Tile) is an airfloated kaolin with bright firing properties yet highly plastic. It thus offers high green strength for superior jiggering and wet processing properties.
C$12.00
Magic Mender High Fire is designed to repair cracks and breaks on porcelain and stoneware clay pieces. Can be used on greenware or bisque and should be refired for repairs to become permanent.
C$14.25
Titanium Dioxide is a glaze opacifier that is also a well-known white pigment. Titanate crystallization on cooling can lead to unique variegated surfaces.
C$26.60
Silica (Flint) Sand 75 Mesh is often used in clay bodies instead of grog. It also can be useful to reduce body firing shrinkage. Silica sand can be used to diminish friction on kiln shelves to enable ware to move while shrinking to prevent sticking.
C$16.55
On paper, Fusion F-2 has a very similar chemistry to 3195.
C$13.15
Magic Water to the rescue! Used to aid in attaching two pieces of clay, such as in slab work and when adding handles.
C$3.50
Darvan 7 is a deflocculant and acts as a thinning agent in slips and as a general dispersing agent for slip clay bodies and glazes.
