I lost the thread, thought I had replied but have not seen it. If this is
a repeat, sorry.

I agree with Snail's reply and wanted to also note that my impression of
the commercial cone 6 "lusters" are metallic saturates. High levels of
Iron and/or copper or other metallic oxides. Not food safe... so apply
accordingly. They are fun to play with.

I also think that true lusters, to me...are spelled lustre. There are
several forms, the silver ,gold , even copper trim or the vapor and fumed
lustres.
