Personal:
This is a nice glaze. Stable, matt and medium light color. This is the =
same glaze that I tested a few weeks ago with
with 5 cobalt instead of .5 because I missed the preceeding dot. Big =
difference of course, yielding a very nice glaze.
Glad I tried it again. Going to test it with my frit instead of =
Colemanite to see if I get a better melt.
Could be a good glaze to decortate over a matt base.
