I am trying to find the American equivalent to the frit MOK 1. I have
the analyses and I am willing to do the leg work, but I went to digitalfire
and didn't see anything there to help me. Am I not looking far enough?? Do
I need to go someplace else? HELP PLEASE--- its a really cool glaze and I
would like to test it. I'm gonna post the analyses in case anyone is REALLY
familiar with frits and knows of a sub. THANKS guys----

Hi!
I checked yesterday (out of curiosity) at the huge list of frits in "The
Magic Of Fire of Tony Hansen and I couldn`t find an exact American frit.The
similar ones concluding Zinc too. I think you can post your glazes and
people can convert them using software-after all there is not any rare
material in this frit .I, here in Israel will try to convert it to the frits
I can buy here because for me,glazing is the best school!
