Here is a Leach Clear with a satin finish that does r/ox ok

Calling it Leach is not really correct as it has been revised to Cone six!

custer 25
whiting 25
silica 25
kaolin 25
frit 3124 15

I KNOW: Total is not 100. Maybe someone want to work on that? But I like
using these numbers as they are mostly consistant! Rox in OR
