For some reason a good clear glaze and clay combo is hard to find.

Even when you match the brands it can come out crazed and it makes me so mad!!

So though this page will probably be bare for a while I have some information from testing them.

• Amaco's HF-9 Zinc-Free Clear + Laguna's B-Mix 5 WC401 = Great results!! I have expereinced no crazing!
• Amaco's HF-9 Zinc-Free Clear + Laguna's Frost^6 (Porcelain) WC437 = Medium results, if applied thinly it dosen't craze but if applied too thick or over a very large area, or if anything is added to the clay like mason stain, it is prone to crazing.
• Amaco's HF-9 Zinc-Free Clear + Laguna's #65 WC609 = Bad, often crazed.
• Laguna's MS-29 Bright Clear + Laguna's #65 WC609 = Bad, often crazed.

So currently I use Amaco's HF-9 Zinc-Free Clear + Laguna's B-Mix 5 WC401 for planters and dishes But I want to use Porcelain clay for the mugs so I am currently using a combo of Amaco's HF-9 Zinc-Free Clear + Laguna's Frost^6 (Porcelain) WC437 and only using a thin coat but hopefully I will find a superior replacement that I don't have to pray that I didn't dip them too long soon.
