Does anyone happen to have Pete Pinnell's cone 10 glaze he calls Cash Blue?
All I know is it has titanium in it. Thanks.

Mel, I thought that you were going to require a mental health assessment by
a trained professional before you even considered selling this glaze. Then,
of course, you'd have the disclaimer, which would have to be signed before
you'd take their credit card.

Didn't you tell me that your lawyers had suggested this for liability
purposes to protect yourself against huge law suits?

Bonnie

i would be willing, for maybe a thousand
dollars, to give information on MOTHER IN LAW BLUE

this is a unique glaze, often known to stop the function
of your pancreas. you must handle this glaze more
carefully than a pure lead or barium glaze. it will
affect the potter when you open the kiln. not before,
or during firing. just when you open the kiln...and
the screams can be heard for miles. extreme caution is advised.

so, post me off list.
have your visa or master card ready.

a certain potter from out east, makes big platters
and stuff with runny glazes, has tried to buy this
glaze from me. won't let him have it.

Sorry all I can't help but jump on this one. MEL try looking at the blue
pots through rose colored glasses. Everything looks cool! Even you.
Maybe they'll turn purple. Mike Gordon

Mel,

Whenever you fire this glaze, do you set up haz-mat signs and wear a lead
lined apron? What about special eye protection? I can just see it now, you
out there wearing a yellow biological suit and unloading the kiln from
behind 2 foot thick tinted glass and using raku tongs.

Hello All,
The recipe is cone 9 reduction.
Custer: 40
Flint: 30
EPK: 10
RIO 5
Rutile 3

Is there any reason why this won't work at cone 10-11?
If so, can it be modified?
Thanks.
Phil:
