Library: Creating a Matte Glaze

This chapter in the book (and matching video at digitalfire.com) takes you on a tour of how to start with a glossy glaze, compare its chemistry with a target formula in the light of what kind of chemistry matte glazes have, then alter the chemistry while at the same time watching that the thermal expansion does not rise and that the glaze maintains good physical application and suspension properties. The chapter shows you have to research the topics of fixing crazing and the chemistry of matte glazes.
