Can I make a direct substitution of Superpax for Zircopax in a glaze recipe?
(Save the testing).
Thanks,

My notes show that you can use eight parts of superpax to replace ten parts
of zircopax.The superpax gives about ten to fifteen per cent more opacifier
than the zircopax.
Super pax is ZrO4 Sio2. Can be substituted equally in tin. Zircopax is
ZrSio2.
