  Hi everyone,
  
  I've so appreciated the help I've received on my 'cracking enamel' and new kiln purchase, I'd like to share a 'find' with all of you.  I've been using the vintage leaded Thompson enamels and was frustrated because I needed the proper flux.  Well, I've found some!  Please note that I am NOT affiliated with this ebay seller, but I have used this flux with Thompson leaded enamels and it works beautifully.
  
  Here is the link:

  Cheers,
  Diana
