Hold up - the expansion of your glaze is way low for any kind of normal
pottery clay - look for shivering. Part of the problem is no clay "



Hi Ron,

You're too late, I just had Frit Ferro 3124 shipped in, today and spent the
better part of the day doing more tests with the following recipe. They are
in the kiln right now and I hope I will have success so I can move on with
this project.

88% frit,
12% EPK
.03 gum
Plus Mason Stain

This is a mural (my logo/ signage) for the outside of my building and fired
to 05. I hope you approve of the formula. It was suggested by the Mason
rep.

Yes - the expansion of this glaze is right on the money.
