It appears and reappears in different proportions at cone 5 and 6.
One of its virtues is high clay content which makes it easy to use, =3D
apply etc.
I would make some blend tests to get it right for the clay I am using. =3D
At the temp I want.
This base would allow you to work with only three ingredients....Add =3D
opacifier to taste.,
As to dangers from glaze. You know as well as I...but here, once more, =3D
I repeat my qualms about any lithium or lithium containing materials.
