Hey Ron, the Hansen mid range base glaze you put up on your website is much
appreciated.

I brush on straight metal oxides (copper, cobalt carb, cobalt ox, iron ox,
etc) on wet pots right after they're thrown, bisque them, then use the
Hansen base, one with zircopax and tin, and one without on my pots. My
coloring technique is "engobe technology" with a Fred Flintstone twist. I
fire to c6 ox. I use Continental's mid-range with manganese clay.

Just wanted to say thank you for the best damn base glaze in the world. It
works real well with Spectrum's underglazes (their burgundies, reds, etc)
too.

Hi Ken,

Not my web site - It's Tony's - I just have a page there. I think you are
talking about the 5x20 glaze - not mine either - Tony Hansen's.
