* can be replaced by the same amount of frit 3124--colors may be less intense.

Dry mix this formula; then add stain:

70 slip
30 stain
Dark greens and blues need less stain;  rutile works at 30;  try other oxides starting at a small % for cobalt, chrome;  copper usually goes a spotty metallic black. 
Other than stains, I use rutile, powered illmanite, calcined iron oxide...
The texture of this engobe is much rougher than the commercial underglazes;  this is because they ball mill and add cmc...most potters do not have ball mills....If you think you want to glaze over the engobe, bisque the engobe on first...the high % of stain is to make a very bright color without glaze.
