Comment: Ron is right!
I used for the analysis Talc Nital and Custer feldspar, The talc and
the bone ash alone are not the surviving. Do you fire to ^6 or a high
^6?
It is half glossy and textural because it has too much alumina and
silica and CaO for ^6.
I am not testing automatically anymore every glaze that appears in
clayart, but for these who make it , more attention is needed buy
whoever sends a recipe, to not discourage people. Two or three bad
results and the tester will not want to test again!
In a separate letter I shall write about a similar ( in structure)
glaze.

Hal - are you sure everything is here? - there is no way this is going
to
melt properly at cone 6.
