I'm experimenting trying to find a better

Thank you, Chris.

I looked on Digital Fires web site and I believe this is the Silky White
Cone 10 Glaze which Chris is speaking (writing) about
http://www.digitalfire.com/recipes/g2571a.htm
I think it is OK for Ox and Red but don't trust me on that, I am barely
literate.
I suspect that the feel of this glaze requires Cone 10, does anyone have any
help for us lurking newbies about this. I currently fire at ^6 but I would
consider switching to ^10 just because of this glaze. I will be trying the
semimatte glazes in Ron/John's "Mastering ... ^6 Glazes" also.
Also, there is a small amount of Gerstley Borate in the formula, does anyone
have any ideas for a good substitute. On the site referenced above, there
is a link to information about substitutions for GB. I would prefer to use
a Frit (3134?) but am not too knowledgeable about other tweaking necessary.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you
Annie Geiger
