This is what google came up with:
+++ Butterscotch +++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Cone 6 oxidation and reduction This one was posted on clayart a short while ago. A white and tan mottled satin glaze at cone 6 in oxidation. In reduction it has a softer sheen and the iron spots from the claybody look great breaking through it.Nepheline syenite 1784 22.3% Whiting 1520 19 % EPK 1512 18.9% Hazard! Flint 2328 29.1% Hazard! Gerstley borate 856 10.7%

Much appreciated, will give it a try .............Kate
I have not heard of Superpax before! what is it?
Whirled peas? Seriously, it's an opacifier like Zircopax and a few other -paxes. I think they all use zirconium oxides, and all are supposed to have about half the opacifying ability of tin oxide. (That's from reading.... I haven't tested myself.)

There really isn't a substitute for tin oxide. There may apacifiers but they ain the same. Theres something soft about tin oxide in a glaze.

Yeah well I know what we are talking about now :o) I have tried Zircopax and Tin Oxide and agree the tin has a softer less harsh effect. Thanks for the replies. A
