Hi Folks:=3D20=3D20

Can anyone tell me how much yellow iron oxide to use in a glaze in place =

of=3D20
yellow ochre as a colorant? I did not find an anwer in the archives exce=

pt=3D20
that you can substitute the oxide for the ochre. I don't usually work in=
=3D
this=3D20
color, so have no tested amber/gold glaze formula on hand. (Except for a=

nice=3D20
fake ash that might work.) I'm ultimately looking for an amber/gold matt=

e or=3D20
semi-gloss. Don't have my books or notebooks at my fingertips as I write=

.=3D20=3D20
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
