Hi:
This is a Richard Behren's recipe, if you have GB.

Gerstley Borate 18.2
Frit 3269 27.7
Alumina hydrate 5.4 (I use alumina oxide)
EPK 9
Silica 39.7

This produces a nice satin finish at ^05-04. I haven't tried it at a higher
temp. It takes oxides and stains well. If you are looking for a more mat
finish, e-mail me offlist and I will see what other recipes I may have.

Regards, Michele in Seattle
