This glaze is high in alumina for the stated end temperatures - which means
it may not melt well enough to be a stable glaze. It should be lab tested
if it's used as a liner glaze.

I used G200 when I calculated the molecular formula.

Vanadium is not a material without toxic affects - dangers are from dust
and fumes - see page 147 inThe Artists Complete Health and Safely Guide by
Monona Rossol - 2nd edition - see also third edition.

I would never use it as a liner glaze unless I was absolutly sure it would
not leach vanadium into any food.
