* Had problems with the pinking fumes on a revised frosty black that I seriously altered to what I call BlackJaQ. The pinking was only on subsequent fires, with crawling in some cases and not others. I had a piece come out today that worked great on textural surface without the pinking. Noted rapid settlement of the glaze, possibly use a sprinkle of salts. John generously offered to take a look at the glaze because of previous crazing problems, and I shamedly haven't gotten back to him......I used tin - dumb question, are tin and chrome one and the same, although I recall there are different colorants to chrome, right? And BTW: what exactly is spodumene? My glaze book gives descriptions of basic chemicals and functions, but this one isn't there. Have you worked a glaze with this and are there any substitues you may know of?

Sure do wish this program was in my budget. I'm running outta room for the tubs I've been mixing up, but dislike the little test tiles. I've put to use another method of test pieces, all thoes little pinch pots and figures that my boys make. Oliver's elegant seal sculpture is what got the BlackJaQ. I knew the kids were good for something besides rapid consumption of groceries and taking out the trash! lol!

*FYI : No worries, got there just fine. Do I have to search the archives for past recepies that may be of interest? Do you post a date for reference in the photo album, I forgot to notice.
Peace,
