That is what I was supposed to use. I have to look back and see where I
made the error. Probably went backwards. But, non the less, I also, have
never had a good color response from this sub. I wanted to of course try,
for health hazard reasons to replace Barium in glazes.

Alisa,

My mistake: It is 0.75 Strontium carbonate to 1 Barium carbonate. Sorry
for the confusion,

John Britt
