before you use em change the way they act?

Are you doing crystalline glazes or are these micro crystals in the =
glazes . And what cone?=20

>>(These glazes are spectacular!!!....in particular the iron glazes
and the celadon. More crystals, lovely rutile blues.)<<


will you do some tests and report on them?

i.e. first , use the same glazes again, doing nothing new to them to see =
if whatever you did was temporary or not.
then just boil a glaze and try it
then just freeze it and try it=20
and then do them all again a few times to see if the results are =
reproducible -=20

I may have to move a freezer out to the garage, and a hot plate - or do =
you think a microwave would do - hmm - maybe I could convert my =
microwave to a kiln as per the recent posts !!


Seriously - I am curious to know why this happened. If you are working =
with cone 6 glazes, and get the same results from another glazing I will =
try it and see what happens. I'll be watching to see what kind of =
explanations come from the glaze gurus.
