Hello All,
I Just tried a pre-mixed Clear glaze last night and
was disappointed with my results... I ended
up with a transparent somewhat "Yellowed"
bowl.
Does anyone have a good crystal clear cone 5 glaze
recipe they could share?
any help would be greatly appreciated....

These last two are very similar. I include both because the coefficient of
expansion is just different enough for you to tell which way to go if they do
not fit your body. And, yes, I know they all have barium in them. Not much,
though, so you could probably substitute 3/4 as much strontium carb, and not
affect them much, or possibly just leave it out.
I hope this helps.
