-------------------
I am testing some Laguna Cone 10 B-Mix. Would someone be willing to share a
clear glaze recipe which they have found has good =22fit=22 on this clay at =
Cone 10?
I'd like to use the recipe as a basis for getting the expansion value right,=
or
pretty close, early in this testing process. Thanks in advance for any =
