Random glaze recipe all fixed up


Initially this recipe had barium in it which can't be used on functional wear - so I wanted to take it out.

Recipe is now:

Soda Feldspar 42
Whiting 8
Zinc Oxide 50
Bentonite 2

It works in both oxidation (matt) and reduction (glossy)

Tests have been done on 5B, Keanes Porcelain and RGH

Top row in oxidation and the bottom row reduction
