Instructions

Apply this glaze thick with a large sumi or hake brush. I will also often utilize a syringe when trying to pool the glaze in certain areas or get into small spaces. This glaze runs significantly if layered thick and fired past cone 1. When firing, put a layer of a silica sand and alumina hydrate mixture on shelves to help work move and catch any glaze drips.
