This is a black stain recipe that works with low and high fire
applications.
The recipe as it is is designed for Cone 10.

However if you add 50% 1024 frit it is a glossy black for cone 06.
You just need to play with the fluxing part to get it the way you
want it.
But it is a great black stain. It comes from Robin Hopper.
