Thanks to all who sent me glaze recipes for the cone 6 cobalt that I
requested! Got some interesting glazes but this is the one I decided to =
use
(Thanks, Holly!). There are evidently different "noxema blue" recipes =
out
there. This resulted in a very smooth deep translucent cobalt.

I am about out of Custer and wondering could I sub another feldspar? I
tried putting it in my trial download of Glazemaster, but not too good =
at
juggling it yet. If someone could help I promise I am going to learn =
glaze
calc. so I won't have to always ask.
