Oh goody - a durable glaze - I see it has two variable materials in it
though - changes can be expected - but it will always be a durable glaze.
Expansion is pretty good too - but it will probably craze on cone 6
procelains if they are close to vitrification.
So nice to be able to say something positve - I'm guess I'm begining to
have a grinch complex.
