I think it was Ababi Sharon who once said that this is a good engobe.
Can I try it at Cone 9 oxidation to use with Mason stains or should I
look for another engobe?

Thanks for any opinions. I am really trying to find ways to use mason
stains on porcelain and would like any help, book titles, glazes, etc.
Can I get it to spray? In a small sprayer? Or will it clog?
I am so totally inexperience with Mason stains, but ready to learn!

Hi Roxanne,
I just compared this to a cone 6 porcelain and it's going to melt a lot
lower - maybe it's for low fire ware.
Best to do some serious testing before slapping it all over you work.
