I just asked a few questions about choosing an 03 glaze. Because I want
strength for dinnerware in an earthenware body, I'm choosing 03 temp. I lov=

the idea of getting leaded glaze looks without lead, so I think I'd like to
continue to test with Pete Pinnell's Best Clear variation #22 (04) and see
what other colors are possible. Can anyone (Pete?) recommend how to make a
satin variation of #22? And, should I add anything to the clear 22 for an 0=
3
firing? Colorant amounts?

Thanks!

Centa;

Try controlled cool all your glazes and see what happens. I have this
transparent glaze (not maiolica temp) that I controlled cool in a
tightly packed kiln, it is fat and semi-satiney and nice.

I think your #22 could be nice because of the GB.

Regards
May
