I am confused. So many glazes are for ^6. I use Laguna Clay B-Mix 5, =
Moroccan Sand, and Calico which are all ^5.

Can I use a ^6 on these and fire a ^5 clay to ^6?=20


I have been trying to make a dark cobalt by adding Cobalt Oxide to =
various Laguna Moroccan Sand glazes that I buy dry and
mix myself.

Mostly not successful. (probably adding to wrong glaze). Would think it =
be easier to add to a "clear" or a "white".

Any advise?

PS. I ONLY HAVE BEEN ON FOR A FEW DAYS, GRANTED I RECEIVE LOTS OF =
MESSAGES THAT I HAVE TO THIN OUT BUT
WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR RESPONDING AND FOR SUCH GREAT INFO =
