The idiot-proof one I always used while in college is: 90% frit 3195
plus 10% ball clay. Add 2% bentonite. 2% CMC (to the dry mix,
distribute well) as well, if desired. Apply a thin coat. I'll bet other
frits work just as well. You can adjust the amount of ball clay up or
down to get the results you want. It's shiny and very transparent.

And it just may be a stable glaze as well - but the expansion is very low
which means it could be trouble on some clay bodies. Check it out
carefully.
I calculated out another - with a higher expansion - maybe do a 5 part line
belend and choose the one just below the one that crazes.
Frit 3195 - 55.0
Frit 3278 - 35.0
OM#4 - 10.0
Bentonite - 2.0
Total 102.0
This may run so protect your shelves - adding more clay will help stop running.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Lynn! Being that I am very new to mixing up my
own glazes, what would adding more ball clay do?
Thanks, Mallory

This link is to a great article on the Digitalfire webpage that
deals with the formulation adjustment of glazes at cone 06-04 temps=85
http://www.ceramic-materials.com/cermat/education/226.html
I don't know if somebody already posted these...
-Ron Meyers cone 04 Clear Glaze and slips:
http://www.goffpottery.com/finch03/Ron%20Meyers/Notes.html
-Augusta State University Low Fire Glazes:
http://www.aug.edu/~artpxh/Class%
20files/Ceramics/LowFireGlazeList.html
-I also use a simple glaze I got from the clayart archives that is
not completely clear and with tiny opalescentlike bubbles but is
takes color well.
60 Frit 3134
40 Ball Clay (I use Om-4)
cmc to taste...
-Our Clayart friend Edouard Bastarache, also has great cone 04
glazes I use often. Edouard has been instrumental in my glazes
formulation learning process. We are really lucky to have him here:

These are all cone 04 glazes... I haven't tried them all but some of
them can be fired to cone 06 with some gloss loss which on one hand
might be nice for decorative work and on the other might render then
unsafe for functional ware. Commercial glazes seem to me OK at a
full cone 06 but I like cone 04-03 for the glazes I mix and
formulate better, at these temperature glaze seems harder. Then
again you'd need an expert opinion... I've only been doing this for
two year...
Best of Lucks,
