Converts Glaze Recipe Percentages Into the Correct Gram Weight
"It was the end of the semester and I was tired. I was supposed to add
20 grams of Chrome Oxide into my bucket. Instead, I added 200 grams
because of a calculator error. I didn't realize it until my work came
out of the kiln. Instead of pink, I got frog green." Unknown - NCECA

"I want my students to know the math, but this tool would be great to
have so that they could double check it. So many students waste
oxides. This would be a great way to lower that room for error!"
