Out of curiousity - have you tried it at cone 6?

Hi Michele,

Not a good liner glaze by the way - too much colouring oxide and very low
silica and alumina for a cone 10 glaze

Here is a version with some frit 3278. I would have used 3134 but because
this glaze is oversupplied with MgO it will not work. Probaly still not a
good liner glaze because of all the oxides. Make sure you do not expose
yourself to kiln fumes - both chrome and manganese are both volitile during
firing.

Test well before use - it could be a runner - on the other hand I can
adjust if it needs more melt.
