Has anyone done a study on cone 10 glazes that force other glazes to
retreat from another or gather to it?
In the world of chemcials if you floated a die on a skin of water and
added alcohol or another solvent, the die would pull away and even form
ringlets of color as it receded. if you use a petroleum oil as a
droplet the dies would cling to the round exterior of the droplet.

In the commercial glaze market there are glazes that are specifically
identified as agents that will create an "aligator skin" or beaded
effect to glazes used over or on them.

Has anyone done a study on glaze reactives? It would depend of course
on the elements in a glaze. But it seems that a molten glaze could
react to another that had repelling features, texturizing, beading or
scaling.
