Silicon Carbide and Granular Rutile

Submitted by clayguy31 on Tue, 04/24/2007 - 8:55am. ::

I have been adding silicon carbide or granular rutile to various lowfire commercial glazes(primarily metallic glazes) for years now to produce various mottled/textured surfaces. I prefer it in the metallic glazes because it breaks up the shiny and smooth surface. Does anyone else have glaze additives they enjoy and what glazes do they modify??
