Resulted in a stable yellow tan gloss glaze, with white frosting =

bluish hue. Many nuances in glaze color for a glaze with so little =
movement.

Personal: Too quick to dump the test glaze. Have to mix it up again and =
try it under Ababy's (maybe weak) Matt Zinc Glaze.
He says the Butterscotch likes that treatment.
