Excellent, but still experimenting
I work mainly with stoneware, using stains and oxides and have found that colours fade when fired at high temperatures. When Gerstly borate is added to clay it becomes watertight when fired to only 950 C, enabling the colours to remain bright. However, adding the correct percentage has become a matter of trial and error.

What sort of packaging would this be shipped in at 5 or 10 kilos?

It would be packed in a clear plastic bag, hope this helps.

Hello, have you got a whole bag (25kg?) price for your Gerstley Borate? Cheers

Sorry this product is not mined any more so our stock is limited to 1kilo, thank you for your understanding.

This is actually Gerstley Borate, not Gillespie Borate, correct?
Bob from United Kingdom
This is Gerstley Borate direct from the United States.
