I have been testing a glaze recipe and am pleased with the results.
I plan to use this recipe on functional items and i want to be sure it is
suitable for food use... There will be additions of coloring oxides (i.e. 5%
copper carb, ) but nothing really outragous... The glaze has passed with flying
colors (no fading at all) the vinger test.... it has also passed the -heating
it up in the oven and throwing it in cold water test......
With my limited, newly acquired glaze calculation knowledge it appears to me
that it meets the requirements of the limit formulas.... so i am throwing out
this recipe to see if anyone has any comments or thoughts on it...

Hi Hank:

The cops said that this glaze is OK and you can get out of jail, pass go,
and get yer 200 bucks. The chief said its a bit high in magnesia and
alumina but he's going to overlook that. Everything else is fine. He told
me to post the seger formula below......Craig-hoping for an early parole
