Some years ago I used this glaze . It was a wonderful ^10Reduction glaze.
When all of the barium controversey came to light, I stopped using it and
tried to replace the barium with strontium. None of my tests were
successfull --i.e. the results were not even close to the original glaze. I
am getting ready for a glaze firing and have been revisiting old and loved
glazes. Has anyone had better luck replacing barium? If so, would you share
your info? I know a lot of you are glaze gurus with a lot of knowledge.
