So does anyone have a recipe or know where I can get the absolute most lowe=
st temperature melting glaze there ever was? like at the maximum i'm looki=
ng for cone 018. I have some glow in the dark pigments which are just not=
doing very well in regular raku glazes. I don't care about lead (although=
I've been told that lead will quench the glow), I'm just looking for LOW L=
OW MELTING POINT. =20

i know part of the problem with these glow in the dark pigments is that the=
y have to be really fast fired. but i'm afraid of cracking everything. doe=
s anyone have any experience with superfast firing? I had thought that it w=
as done only in industry with very meticulous firing curves that slow down =
for a few minutes around critical temperatures (quartz inversion, cristobal=
ite inversion, etc). =20

anyone?
