Journal

๐Ÿ“’ Jul 12 โ€” thin = washes out. 3 dips or S.G. 1.45. Pools gorgeously in carved lines.
๐Ÿ“’ Jun 30 โ€” variation #2 with +1% copper: too dark, muddy. Staying with original.

Where it lands โ€” the chemistry map ยท the Stull chart, like Glazy's

under-fired crazed bright gloss semi-matte matte alumina (Alโ‚‚Oโ‚ƒ) โ†’ silica (SiOโ‚‚) โ†’ 0.2 0.4 0.6 2 3 4 5 Toasted Amber Oat Matte Sea-glass Celadon
๐Ÿงฎ Computed from the recipe automatically โ€” no data entry. The dot says why it's glossy; nudge silica or alumina and watch the dot move before you mix anything. Faded dots are your other glazes, so the map doubles as a family portrait. (Regions shift with cone โ€” the real chart adjusts to โˆ†6.)

New glaze

Only the name is required โ€” everything else can arrive later.

Firing #5

๐Ÿ”ฅ Fill-the-kiln-and-go mode: tap start firing with nothing filled in โ€” just "glaze โˆ†6, go." Tell it what went in later, even on unload day. The load list below is for when you feel like it, not homework.

๐ŸŒฑ Saving this updates everything automatically: the mugs move to "ready to sell," Celadon's page gains a porcelain row ("๐Ÿ˜• washed out โ€” 1 firing"), and Firing #5 closes with its story told. One screen, three systems fed.
