spodumene help!!!

updated mon 30 sep 96

for a cone 10 reduction in my gas-fired kiln, i tried the following MAMO
SPODUMENE glaze formula:
oxford spar 300
spodumene 200
epk 250
dolomite 200
whiting 50
+ 5% tin
+ 3% rutlie
+ 3% iron
a couple of pieces came out ok, but most were a very dull looking milk
chocolate color with cream.

any suggestions or a better spodumene formula? will be much appreciated.

What was the clay body you were firing this glaze on? How high did you
fire? How thick was the glaze?
