Hi Timothy, Erin,

I am also interested in matt majolica and how to adjust Linda Arbuckle's
recipe. I guess this recipe below is 04.

Hi!
Tim,

I think the zinc oxide in this recipe may interfere with your
overglazecolors.
How about not including it, upping the EPK to 20 and adding 10%
zircopax and trying that.
