Just a reminder to all who use recipes. It took me some time to
find a glossy clear that fit my clay body. When I did, one was
Rhodes 22, a glaze from his book that included ash. This was great
as I was learning to use ash in galzes.
When I finally used it on a few bowls, it did not pass the vinegar
test. It may be a case of glazes not travelling well. The ash
that I used (live oak) may be considerably different from what he
used. Just because a glaze has a respected name associated with it
does not mean it works well for you.

Hi Wes,
Your experience is a testament to a big assignment well done, in the world=
=20
of figuring out which glazes you are going to use on a regular basis. You=
=20
need to test, test again, and then use on a few bigger pieces, before you=20
commit to 20,000 grams or more covering most of your best work. Names,=20
cones, colors, really do not mean that much, ie. what they will be for you,=
=20
until you try them out under your own circumstances.
