Altering a Copy of a Recipe
Often we make new versions, new colors, slight variants, etc. of a particular glaze. While you can keep notes on this type of thing in the Comments section of HyperGlaze, it may be more useful to have a separate recipe for your ‘new’ glaze.
The easiest way to do this is to go to the original recipe in HyperGlaze, then choose Duplicate Card from the Edit menu of the Glazes window. You’ll instantly get an exact copy of the original recipe. Rename it (add ‘revised’ or some other way to know it’s a different recipe), and then add your other changes to the recipe and save.
This is an easy way to work with the recipe, adding ingredients or changing amounts to see how the estimated thermal expansion or molecular formula changes. If you’d like to have the original recipe in a window to compare it to your altered recipe, go to the original recipe, choose ‘Compare Glazes’ from the Glazes menu, and when the window opens, click the ‘Get Current Glaze’ button at the bottom of the Compare Glazes window. You’ll see the recipe in the Glazes window repeated in the Compare Glazes window. This window floats over other windows, so move it to a convenient spot on the screen, then go back to the Glazes window and find the new glaze that you’re altering. You can go anywhere in HyperGlaze and the Compare Glazes window will stay visible until you close it. Even when you open it later, it will still show the last recipe you chose to view.
