9 March - Test tiles (right) showed the glaze apparently was not stirred enough.  Remade it and added more light green (from 1g to 2.5g).
16 March - The yellow in the yellow green is too saturated.  Added additional 7g zirconium silicate plus a touch of dark green stain.
20 March - This is not working.  May try diluting the yellow, but I think I want a matte finish.
