I am wondering if anyone has any successful glaze recipes using Laguna Borate.

Any temp/atmosphere would be welcome.

Thanks!

Mishy

Does Laguna have the mol. Formula for their Laguna Borate? I'm hoping to use it
as a sub for 25% GB in my 04 white and that would be a good place to start. Misty,
it sounds like it ain't workin' for you.

My intuition for the runny 50%LB and 50%CC is that it would be pretty runny at 04.
I add flint and kaolin at that temp and still have a gloss.
