Sharing is fun! Reformation is better! This has been one of those great
threads for me. Ron has reformed a glaze for me and I am once again on a
learning curve. Here is Ron's redo of Snowden's White!
Thanks Ron!
Not exactly a winner - it's oversupplied with MgO - what makes it not shiny
- probably will slowley deteriorate with use - Jon may be right with
certain high expansion bodies (read high iron and cristobalite) this may be
a pot buster.

F3134 - 13.0
Dolomite - 3.0
Talc - 19.5
