Jim,
Could you give us some more information. I'd like to as much of the =
following as you can share:
1. Specific gravity of the glazes.
2. Kind of clay.
3. Temp or cone to which clay was bisqued.
4. Temp or cone at which you began reduction.
5. Final cone temp.
6. How long a soak and whether or not the soak was in oxidation.

I know that is a lot to ask, but it sure would make evaluation and =
comparison of your results with others reliable and understandable. =
Thanks for the work you put into the testing and for sharing the =
information.

Regards,
Jim
