The following glaze was tested and was supposed to be a nice translucent
cobalt glaze at 04. What I got was a speckly transparent clear/cobalt
glaze. The cobalt produced speckles rather than being "homogenized". Can
anyone fix this glaze or do you have one that works?

Use a blue stain or cobalt carbonate instead of cobalt oxide.
Mason 6300 is good.
