ziropax and superpax

Zircopax and Superpax are brand names for zirconium
opacifiers. It's Coke or Pepsi.
There are different strengths of opacifiers; for instance
Ultrox (another brand) offers different strengths.
So, just replace to start, add more if you want it more
opaque, reduce the amount if you want it less opaque.

Copper carbonate should be copper carbonate, the same
every time, right down to the last molecule. It's always
possible, I suppose, that it could be adulterated.

| Hello!
| Can somebody tell me if I can replace zircopax for superpax?
|
| I purchased some copper carbonate lately and the powder is bright green .
| Not the same green of chrome and not the same green of chrome sulphate.
I
| used it in a glaze which I had already tested with my old copper
carbonate -
| a dull green poweder- and the result was not good at all. can someone
tell
| me what's this new copper carbonate?
|
| Thanks for your help.
