Anyone have any zinc crystalline glaze formulas (2400F, oxidation) they
would be willing to share?

Also doing Terra Cotta for the first time and have been firing to cone
06. Need a couple glaze formulas just for liners. Can't find much on
Terra Cotta. Any advice?

Thank you,
MVP

I'm sure you can add your own choise of colorants for differnt effects. You
can order this paperback book on line from http://www.amazon.com. I think it
is worth it just for the pictures alone. Hope this helps Dave
