16% rutile too much?

Hello,

I've added 16% rutile to Ron Roy's clear ^10 glaze. I've got a real nice =
satin dark tan surface that has light tan and sometimes blueish patches, =
I really like it. But isn't that too much rutile?

Thanks,
Lajos

John discovered Rutile helps durability but there must be a point where
that effect drops off due to reduced melting. We have not done those
experiments yet so the answer is still how much is too much.
