<p>Great news! I thought maybe playing with the flux would give you the surface you sought. I am glad to hear it worked. Testing can be tedious but it usually pays off. Thanks for the update.</p>

<p>Just an update. I ended up doing a grid test of this glaze and I was able to achieve a perfect surface by finding a glaze with slightly more flux. It is still within limits and is absolutely stunning. Here is a close up. So instead of trying to use my schedule to fix problems, I just did the right thing and fixed the glaze. yay!…</p>

<p>I need to replace my elements and install a pyrometer so I can get going on some glaze testing. I want to see if I can translate my high fire slip glazes to cone 6 with any degree of success.</p>

<p>Nice chatting with you Joseph. You have a good weekend too.</p>

<p>NP. Thanks for asking about my work. I always appreicate feedback as well, so any negatives or positives feel free to PM me them.</p>
<p>I am sure I will eventually try this experiment again with my stoneware glazes once I get back to them. </p>

<p>Beautiful results! It is fun to get the glaze just so but obviously it is lovely as is. Will you add the link to your Etsy site? I would be interested in seeing more of your work.</p>

This is the final result.

<p>I am going to setup a currie grid test for that exact reason down the line. Right now I need to get wares back on my etsy and into some local galleries that want to carry my work. </p>
<p>So somewhere in the next few weeks I will setup the grid test. My glazes are super smooth and look very slick, its just when you hold them really close to your eye you can see microdimples. I don't particularly like it, but even most commercial ware and famous potters have these dimples.</p>

<p>Well it was an interesting experiment - thanks for sharing. I know you are done testing for now but in the future it might be interesting to play with the flux both amount and type as well as different clay bodies to see if you could achieve the ultra smooth feel/look you were after. </p>
