Comments: From U Florida midrange glaze base. "Boy, do I have a fabulous clear glaze for you!! I tested about 15 clears last year and only came up with 2 that I would consider using. This glaze is incredibly forgiving - doesn't show drips, overdips, differences in thickness, is glassy clear w/o yellow, and doesn't craze. Can you believe it? I couldn't either, but it's true and I am absolutely thrilled with this glaze. It only has 4 ingredients, too. I use this over slips and underglazes and it's fine. I also use lusters over it with great results. What can I say? This is THE PERFECT clear glaze. Have fun. Laura in Oregon" -----------------------------------Calculations by GlazeMaster™

Hi George, is the clear glaze you have used here posted on this site by any chance. I have tried a few clear Cone 6 glazes lately, with no real satisfaction. Can you help please? Thanks in advance.
