Resulted in:
Covering white satin matt, with yellow running streaks throughout. Pooled
slightly at bottom of tile with a yellow glassy glaze.
Burgandy stain, colbolt ox. and RIO stripes all showed through the base
with very soft edges. The cobalt turned green where very saturated in the
middle of the stripe. Over the both the Cobalt and RIO, the streaking of
this glaze is very apparent. It pulled a lot of the oxide stripes right
down to the bottom of the test tile.
