good one or direct me to where I could find one? Thanks

Hello Bob/Ann! This glaze From Don Goodrich list!

10.5 gerstley borate
25 nepheline syenite
36.5 flint
18.5 whiting
9.5 epk
add:
7.5 tin oxide
0.325 green chrome oxide
John Post:
I added 10Alumina hydrate. When I apply thick I beautiful mauve
Now if you live in the right side of the world you can try it this way:
ARGAMAN(MAUVE)
=================
NEPHELINE SYENITE... 19.4 16.05%
FLINT............... 33.7 27.94%
WHITING............. 18.5 15.29%
EPK KAOLIN.......... 13.9 11.55%
FRIT 3134........... 13.6 11.22%
MAGNESIUM CARBONATE. 0.9 0.76%
ALUMINA HYDRATE..... 10.0 8.28%
TIN................. 7.5 6.21%
CHROME OXIDE........ 3.3 2.69%
========
120.8
CaO 0.77* 15.15%
MgO 0.03* 0.43%
K2O 0.03* 1.03%
Na2O 0.17* 3.66%
SrO 0.00* 0.00%
TiO2 0.00 0.06%
Al2O3 0.48 17.28%
B2O3 0.14 3.30%
P2O5 0.00 0.04%
SiO2 2.80 58.92%
Fe2O3 0.00 0.13%
Si:Al 5.79
SiB:Al 6.07
Expan 7.29
Now if it is not glossy enough, reduce the Alumina hydrate, but apply thick.
The Alumina Hydrate makes it look better!!
