I am looking for a cone 5 or 6 oxidation clear glaze to cover my black slip
that will not change the color of the slip. I would like a semi-gloss, but
not too shiney, but not exactly matte. I would also like for it to be smooth
to the touch. Does anyone have any suggestions? (I use red rock clay).
Thanks.

Lee,
I just back from the BMAC, so I don't know if this has been suggested, =
but Tony Hansen's 5X20 glaze sounds like it would fit the bill:
20 EPK
20 Ferro Frit 3134
20 Silica
20 Feldspar (G200 or Custer)
20 Wollastonite
You can dork with the percentages of 3134 and EPK (less 3134 with more =
EPK) to get a more matte finish. It's a nice shiny clear as is.
