Dear CLAYARTERS I do my best not to be critical but,,,, Why is it that so many

people go to the trouble of typing out a Formula and leave out the most
important part.. ""THE TEMPERATURE or CONE"" ??

You can go up and down the e.mail thread or Magazine article and cant find it.

We all know that certain glaze names "Shino" "Chun" etc., are associated
with a particular temperature """but are they always???"""

It is as important as the FLUX and should be at the top of the Formula, do
you or dont you agree ???

eg., Cone 9 reduction,, or Cone 6 oxidation,, it's realy not hard to do
or is it???

Sorry and Kind regards, B.C.
