I forgot to say that this is a cone 5-6 clear glossy glaze. A little matt
sometimes in the cool parts of our kiln. A couple of people have asked so
thought I'd better send to the list.

Hi Autumn,

I see you have the B2O3 in unity in the molecular formula below. John
Hessleberth pointed out to me that I was in error in doing it that way. I
agree with him and no longer look at glazes that way.

RR clr (cone 6) with B2O3 out of flux unity.
