Eric, you might like to try Charlie D Manganese. I've seen it used
successfully at the 92nd Street Y in the gas kiln, cone 10, reduction for
more years than it would be discreet to say:

20% Custer spar
20% Kona F4
2% Whiting
15% Dolomite
13% Talc
10% Ball Clay
20% Flint
=100% total;

then add 2% Bentonite and 4% Manganese

Hope you enjoy it,
Jaine in Cresskill
