Mat, soft white, covering glaze. This version is visually almost =

You've done it Charles!
This version is a soft white, covering, silk mat glaze. It is my =

The glaze is slightly more reflective than both versions above, but =

Good work Charles!

This is a revision I received long ago from Ron.
I think I got something wrong in the recipe, because it is so low in =
Silica. It may have been 20 Silica instead of 2.
This recipe was mat and smooth, but crazed, a sign that the Silica is =
too low.
