I don't think this glaze will melt properly at cone 6 for starters - the
alumina is very high. It is short of silica, the expansion is very high so
it will craze on just about any body.
So - what I am saying here - is it's most likely not a durable glaze so it
would be best on the outsides of pots where food can't come in contact with
it.

one needs to remember that many of these glazes are designed for hand b uild
sculptures or the outside of pots.
i have tried to move beyond the traditional confines of cone 6 in order to
creatre glaes that have more interest and unusual effects
