oldlady Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 just opened a firing of things for a museum show in winchester, va this weekend. lovely surprise, everything is great! wanted to share the results of adding half a percent of stain to a base glaze recipe Min sent me when i was trying to find a clear glaze without zinc. nearly all mason stains have chrome in them and it is affected by a zinc containing glaze. i have tried for many years to make a purple glaze and have finally got what i wanted. THANK YOU, MADELINE!!!! i tried to add a new album to my gallery but the directions have changed and i do not understand them. sigh...........

Glad you got the results you were looking for, have a great sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
