Jeez I hate it when I do this...calculate and produce
the wrong result! :-( Ron's information below is
correct, there is much less alumina and silica in
this glaze than I showed in my post earlier today. I
used the wrong analysis for soda ash. My thanks to
Ron for pointing out the error. Good work, Ron!
