Turns out that the backup disk for glazes that are important to me in =
hopes of using them "someday," had a virus in one of the posts saved on =
it .... advised by MacAfee not to use it/to discard it since it was a =
bad one and caused me much grief before installing different detection =
systems.

Anyway, I have crackle glaze recipes for raku and for firing below ^10 =
.... but can't find the ONE for which I'm searching..... big crackles =
.... works every time. Anybody have any info you'd like to share? If =
not, I'm up to testing all the crackles in the archives once again =
before finding MY glaze but I'd rather not.
All my testing info was on that disk, also.
I just know that some of my square vases would look magnificent in =
crackle.

Thank you for thinking about it, anyway.
