Hi Nancy & All,
Re: Gerstley replacement
A while back, Jeff Zamek wrote an interesting article in CM
showing a typical ^6 floating blue recipe with GB,
and then how it looked using 6 different replacement materials.
Nice color pictures.

To me, Tony Hansen's Boraq looked like the best straight across
sustainable substitution for this type of glaze.
Here's some info from Tony on Digitalfire.com.

I've also had good non GB results using Ron Roy's
floating blue revision 3 from the archives. Thanks Ron!

Hi David,
I remember doing some experiments using several of the GB replacements and
the Gillespie Borate won hands down - which did not surprise me because the
analysis was the closest to the average GB analysis I have been using over
the years.
