I have had lots of trouble with Seattle Pottery Supply's Clear ^4-6. Any
suggestions? It's kind of hazy and sometimes bubbles.

Allison: I've had crazing problems with any cone 4-6 clear or transparent
glaze from SPS. My solution was to first try Clay Art Center's PZ Clear.
Works great. Now I'm mixing my own and trying to get Tony Hansen's 20x5
clear to stop bubbling and turning white. Was using a mix with Ghastly
Borate but after a few critiques by the list Glaze Gods, stopped. I just
need a good 4-6 clear, commercial or otherwise.
