Hello Alisa;
So much work! Thanks for the effort.
This glaze makes RR look fat?
I am interested in a FAT white glaze. Have you done much test on white glazes? I have now a glossy tin white and a satin white. I would love to have a fat white like a leaded maiolica lardy glaze. I know it's hard to get above cone 6 (and without lead). If you come across one, please let me know.
Regards
May
