Dear John or Ron,

The Glossy Base Glaze 1 (p.92, Mastering Cone 6 Glazes) requires G200. =
But I am out of it, and thinking about substituting G200 with Custer =
Feldspar. If I change to:
Custer spar =3D20
Frit 3134 =3D20
Wollastonite =3D 10.5
EPK =3D 20
Talc =3D 11.5
Silica =3D 18

The Unitiy molecular formula is practically the same. Is there any =
problem with my substitution? Your comment would be appreciated. =
Mariko

Hi Mariko,

Custer and G-200 are pretty similar so there shouldn't be any problem, but
try it and see. Test, test, test.
