Ron: The stain manufacturers all say that Vanadium containing stains
should not be fired over 1250 degrees Celsius, so I'd conclude that this
is the temperature at which the encapsulation breaks down for stains with
Vanadium in them. There are other warnings in the "small print" that
usually accompanies stain literature. Til later.Peace. Tom.

Thanks Tom - I think they must also say no abrasion as well. I am wondering
- in a soft glaze will stirring wreck the encapsulation - wish I kew more
about this.
