NotesCovers very well to produce a transparent amber glass. Ball mill to remove iron specks if needed. This is an excellent base glaze for many dark colors. It is also an excellent liner glaze for dark burning clays, it looks better than a transparent.
If crazing occurs (you need to look closely for it) switch to frit 3249 low expansion frit.
