------------------
HI everyone, I was going to try this glaze when I noticed it didn't add
up. If it's a Val Cushing glaze I can't imagine that it wouldn't add up to
100. Did I miss something? I checked Val's handbook and couldn't find
anything called Val's Turquoise. If anyone has an explanation or another
version of this glaze with more ingredients please post it. TIA.
