I am using a variation of digitalfire.com's glossy clear. It fits my
porcelain perfectly. However, I am trying to get color variations,
especially a rutile blue. Rutile alone gives me yellow. What causes the
rutile to turn blue? Is there a secret to rutile blues?
I fire a hard cone 10, gas reduction. I know I get good reduction by my
other glazes.=20
EPK KAOLIN 20.50 =A0
SILICA 28.50 =A0
CUSTER FELDSPAR 27.00 =A0
WOLLASTONITE 24.00 =A0

=A0 100.00 =20
Any one else done color variations of this glaze? I would love compare
notes!
Would also appreciate any rutile blue glazes you are willing to share!
I am looking for a soft opalescence blue.
Thanks, this is such a great list!
