Raku and Candy Raku Glazes?

Thanks,

Maureen

Candy Luster Glaze

GB 70
Cornwall Stone 30
Tin Oxide 0.5
Cobalt Carb 0.25
Copper Carb 1.5

I have tested this glaze and got a beautiful blue with pink highlights,
pulling fast. The Cornwall gives a beautiful satiny sheen.
I don't know about the "naked raku".
