I do wonder?
To achieve this glaze, must we use lithium?
This is not exactly my direction in glazing but it looks like we all
(most) copy recipes and using without thinking? Why do I use here
Lithium and why there Barium. If this is the only way to get this exact
effect. OK but this glaze, with a stable base+ RIO, applied thin, would
not be better?
