Welcome William. We do not have much information on cone 6 crystalline glazes. I would suggest that you start an interest group for the subject, populate it with discussions of what you already know and what you want to know.  Then nurture it with renewed postings over time, and you might just grow a highly interactive group. As the leader of the group, you can be given administrative control over it. Interested?
