If you mean the Cone 8 Limestone Glaze listed under Pale or Colourless
Glazes in Leach's A Potter's Book, yes. All but the benonite.

Dean,
I use a variation of that glaze for my celadon. It's milky with lots
of tiny bubbles at cone 9, and gets a little clearer at cone 12. It's
definitely not a clear glaze. The whiting releases a lot of gas I
believe, which causes the tiny bubbles.

(always risky, I know).
I advise you to test it first.
Best wishes,

Applied thinly it is clear,
thickly it is a grey-white clear.
