impossible glaze request???

I normally fire to ^10, but I saw a technique I'd like to try that
requires an 06 maturing glaze - preferably clear.

My on-hand glaze materials, as you might imagine, are aimed at
high-fire. I have no frits of any kind.

Is there any glaze that I can make using on-hand materials? I have a
wide range of feldspars; GB, flint, neph sye, cornwall stone, OM4 ball
clay, wollastonite, dolomite, whiting, talc, epk etc. or do I need to
purchase some other type of material?

Hal's latest "glaze of the week" is an 04 which asks for Borax for about
50% of the glaze. Is that the type I buy at the store, or do I need to
order it as well?

Many many thanks for all your help :-)))
