Here's the Melloy Tan recipe you are looking for.
It is really a beautiful glaze, between a matt and
a satin matt.

^9-10 Melloy Tan

Custer Spar 54
EPK 25
Dolomite 18
Whiting 3

Bentonite 2%
Mang. Diox. Powder 3%

P.S. I have also used this glaze with G-200 spar
instead of the Custer Spar.

Good luck.

Manganese Dioxide (Powder) in the Melloy Tan
recipe I sent in earlier is just a finely ground Mang. Diox. as
opposed to "granular" Mang. Diox.

Also, I noticed that someone else sent in a recipe
the same as the one I had, but they added 1% iron
oxide -- it doesn't seem necessary. Mine always
turned out a beautiful sort of " hot chocolate with a
lot of milk color" with some darker areas.

Good luck.
