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
Feldspar Potash (Custer) is one of the primary feldspars used in ceramics. Mahavir has been found to be a good substitute for Custer, however, as with any raw material change in a recipe, please test first.
C$8.40
Wollastonite is a natural calcium silicate used to reduce shrinkage in clay bodies and glazes during firing. Can aid in the fast firing of clay bodies and can be employed to replace silica and whiting.
C$10.35
HG is a Soda Feldspar; Substitute for Minspar 200. It is composed of crystalline minerals made up of mainly of alkaline silicates. It is used in clay bodies to promote vitrification and in cone 6-10 glazes as an inexpensive glass-former.
C$6.50
Silica (Flint) 400 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$14.25
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
Gillespie Borate is a blended borate material designed for use in glazes to replace Gerstley Borate. It has been on the market for over 20 years.
C$13.95
Spodumene (substitute) is a silicate mineral often referred to as lithium feldspar. Commonly used in ceramics as a source of lithia which is used as a powerful flux especially when used with potash and soda feldspars.
C$94.15
Hydro-Stone® Gypsum Cement is especially suitable where high strength and resistance to water absorption are necessary. It is ideal for applications in both the tooling & prototyping and art & statuary categories.
C$50.00
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
Mulcoa Kaolin Grog 20 Mesh is a coarse-grained calcined mullite grog. This grog can be added to throwing and sculpture clay bodies to increase working strength and reduce shrinkage as well as an aid in drying thick pieces.
C$22.00
Fabi Talc is both white in it’s raw state, and in it’s fired colour. Talc is an hydrated magnesium silicate, its crystals are thin and lamellar forming. Talc can be found in various grades, different by purity, colour and lamellarity.
C$17.15
Hydrocal® White Gypsum Cement (Plaster) offers twice the compressive strength of other plasters. Stiffening rate very rapid after setting action begins.
C$60.00
Barnard Slip has historically been used by potters as a source of iron in dark firing glazes. Also referred to as Blackbird Slip, Banard Clay.
C$18.85
Silicon Carbide is a reduction agent used in glazes. It can be used to make crater glazes. Silicon Carbide can also can be added to clay bodies to give black speckling.
C$26.40
Mulcoa Kaolin Grog 35 Mesh is a medium-grained calcined mullite grog. This grog can be added to throwing and sculpture clay bodies to increase working strength and reduce shrinkage as well as an aid in drying thick pieces.
C$22.00
Dolomite is a type of milled limestone that is a useful source of both calcium and magnesium in ceramic glazes.
C$10.90
Alberta Slip duplicates the firing properties of Albany Slip and is an excellent base for many types of glazes.
C$9.75
Veegum, or VeeGum T (or VGT) is not a 'gum', rather it is a refined fine particle mineral called 'smectite'. In glazes VGT is used as an in-mix suspending agent and surface hardener. Also suitable for use as a spray-on surface hardener before decorating.
C$65.00
In ceramics, Manganese Granular is used primarily in clays and glazes to achieve fired speckle (including the brick industry). This is the same material as manganese dioxide powder, it is simply not ground to a fine powder.
C$11.20
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.
