Barbara:
Here is my black cone 6 ox formula. This glaze is more satin than matt,
however, additions of epk should give you what you want.
G200 Spar 26
Gerstley Borate 16
Silica 26
EPK 22
Dolomite 18
Cobalt Carb. 2.7
Black Iron Oxide 15
The expansion number for this glaze is very low, but I think there is
more chance of crazing than shivering. I don't know why but probably
the high iron content increases the co-e of expansion. To increase matt
2-4 more parts of epk will probably do. I have tests using this base
that look like old-fashion chalk boards.
Regards
Fraser
