I fired Ron Roy's Black at ^6 ox. electric and out came something
spectacular: soft; smooth; silky; deep black; definitely "fondle-able". Is
there an RR White? (I've tried a few of Zakin's whites--good, but not like
this black) TIA Eleanor K, hobbyist, Centerport, NY

Hi Eleanor--

No problem. Just leave out the iron and cobalt and add 7-10 %
Zircopax (or your favorite opacifier) instead. Same surface, just as
nice.

Chris

Would really welcome the opportunity to try Ron Roy's Black if you wouldn't
mind sharing the recipe. Have searched for it in the CeramicWeb database
without luck in locating it.

Thanks,
Renate
