I finished my vinegar test with the OX Blood glaze and after 36 hours
it didn't significantly change the visual appearance of the glaze. I
noticed that the vinegar did weep through the piece. I had newspaper
under it during the test to check for that. I had a feeling that the
pieces were under vitrified as I did the tongue test on them and my
tongue stuck momentarily to the piece and then slide.
I am going to try another piece with this glaze on the outside "high
and outside" comes to mind because of all the talk of this glaze
likely to run like crazy.
I am open to modifications that may need to be made to make the glaze
enter into the stable universe. I just don't understand the chemistry
part of MC6G's yet. I understand the theory ratio of alumina to
silica but not how to. I'll keep reading and try harder to comprehend.
Thanks again,

Hi Lori,
I loved that bowl! I sure hope you get this figured out...I'd like to borrow it for one or two of
my bells.
