To anyone willing to help.
Here is my problem.I mixed a cone 5-6 clear,for my tiles(low
shrinkage).It's a very nice glaze but...there is such a fine line
between too thin an application, and too thick(glaze turns milky)that I
cant do production with any reliability.
I'm self taught,I throw for 2 studios in town,I've started my own
studio, and I just don't have the time or expertise to experiment
anymore
Is there anything I can add to get rid of the milkiness, or a different
formula for tile.It doesnt have to be food safe but I am spraying
My thanks to anyone who can help,
here is my formula

Gerstley borate 45
silica 21
EPK 9
g-200 15
