Hi Billie
What is in that Frit? Does it melt at around 700-800c? I was under the
impression that any frit around that melting point, plus maybe 20% Neph.
Sye or 10 %Borax and 10% Kaolin, plus and addition of 10% Ziropax, will
give a white crackle raku glaze. Even 100 Frit plus 10% Ziropax.

Do not know too much about Raku glazes, but have tried 100% Boron Frits
and then blended with 10% Kaolin, 10%Borax and the Zircopax and had a good
raku white crackle.
