Subject: BS: Check my math?
I have two glazes that are nearly identical...

Red:
EPK=2500
CF=5270
WH=2130
Talc=400
BA=400
Iron=600

Orange:
EPK=2500
CF=5270
WH=2130
Talc=400
BA=300
Iron=400
Rutile=400

I have a batch of red I mixed last year and I don't need it anymore. I do need the orange. Pretty simple -- all ingredients I need for the orange are in my premixed batch (and, more important, none that I don't need)...

...so how much of all the ingredients do I need to make my red into an orange.

It's only about $5 worth of chemicals.....but it will be put on about $5000 worth of pots! (can't much afford to make a mistake -- that's why I'd like the double-check)
