Nov. 27th, 2006 08:55 pmThe glaze experiments I did worked out very well.
I don't say that often either, usually it takes considerably more fussing than this.
One glaze will be an excellent substitute for my lost colemanite glaze. Another glaze isn't like the lost colemanite but interesting enough to pursue. A third glaze wasn't anything at all like the lost c., but will be a fabulous Tudor green if it passes the leaching test that I am performing on it now.
I have hope for this Tudor Green because the color comes from cobalt carb., chrome, and tin oxide, rather than copper oxide. More expensive, but doesn't come with the usual leaching problems. ...I hope.
