I tried to convert Celdon recipe from ^10 to ^6 and failed
I tried to work with the formula to recipe in Matrix and created this glaze
Let's call it Shiny Ababi
SHINY ABABI 1201deg.C. Cone 6

Formula Weight% Recipe

------------------------
KNO 0.4308 10.36% Lithium Carbonate 3.00
CaO 0.3211 6.97% FRIT 2120 35.00
MgO 0.0018 0.03% EPK Kaolin 27.00
ZnO 0.1348 4.24% Wollastonite 9.00
Li2O 0.1114 1.29% ZINC OXIDE 4.00
Al2O3 0.3010 11.86% SILICA 22.00
P2O5 0.0012 0.07%
SiO2 2.8005 65.08%
TiO2 0.0035 0.11%
K2O 0.0026 0.10%
Na2O 0.4282 10.27%
Al:Si 9.3043
Expan. 9.1699
ST 342.401
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The advantage of frit 2120 is the high content of sodium in insoluble frit
shape.

CaO 0.20* 6.21%
Na2O 0.80* 27.61%
Al2O3 0.05 2.78%
SiO2 1.90 63.41%
Si:Al 38.73
SiB:Al 38.73
Expan 14.00

I will try to convert it
Did not succeed.
This is a beautiful clear glaze. With an add of 3 copper carbonate reminds
me of pictures of Celedon glaze.
