and I think chuck should list it because I have a whole bunch of
barium carbonate that I would like to use up so that it is not lying
around the studio.

I thought otto and his wife were going to go to the grave with that
recipe... I sure hope not. we are talking about his ^10 yellow
reduction glaze, no?

I would very much like to see the recipe and firing schedules, more
out of curiosity than anything else, since I am not a big yellow
freak, but it would be nice to know how he did it.

Chuck T. Wagoner said "He has a formula for Otto's Waxy Yellow Glaze which
is so famous, but is has
so much Barium Carbonate in it I don't want to list it since some people
might not understand how dangerous that can be."

That's a glaze I would love to try, but first maybe there should be a
discussion on safe handling of barium. I think it's been a while and maybe
there is new information out there. So, what's the recipe, and what are the
concerns?
