glaze test for marcia's (selsor) mat and 3 revsions, cone 6,

redux, fired in oxidation.

Hi Alisa - my revision is way off - it is not just the silica - it is not
for this glaze at all.

I have redone Charles's version with frit 3134 however.

EPK - 21.5
Neph Sy - 10.0
Dolomite - 17.5
Silica - 21.5
G200 - 19.0
Whiting - 0.5
Frit 3134 - 10.0
Total - 100.0

Don't assume this is a stable glaze - some of that surface may be due to
underfiring ay cone 6 - best to have it tested for leaching if it's to be
used as a liner glaze with colouring oxides.
