clear over underglaze

Just wondering if anyone has a good clear (very clear) cone 6
glaze receipe that works well with underglazes. I would rather make my
own than to purchase already mixed ones. I have Spectrum and Amaco
underglazes. Your help is appreciated, in advance.

I have had success with a clear developed by Plainsman Clays, Lethbridge
Alberta, Canada.
Find it has a broad range, but must glaze carefully, as it can turn a bit
cloudy if it is too thick. (my pencil, partly wrapped with wire, acts as
my hydrometer) I have used over the underglazes you mention. Have applied
the underglazes to both greenware and to the bisque. This glaze does not craze!

We bought a Duncan EZ series clear (dry) that has worked very well for us at
C5 or C6.

Try the simple clear recipe that has been posted several times on
clayart. I have had good luck with it. If you don't have the recipe let
me know & I'll get it to you.
