Hello O Learned Ones,

Need a lot of low-fire matt (matte?) transparent glaze. I need to match =
some
tiles, so it can't be shiny or dry. Satin seems too glossy and the matts =
I've
tried are too dry. Anybody know of a silky textured clear (=5E06 or =5E05)?=
I
suppose if we were talking paint finishes, it would be =22eggshell=22. =
Commercial
would be fine, or I could make my own.
Wonder what would happen if I mixed matt and satin, 1/2 =26 1/2...... I'm =
running
out of time for more tests.

TIA
