Clayarters :
Is there a "gum" material that can be applied over a glazed surface that
allows a subsequent application of stain or glaze to flow more freely?
In the video "Gifts from the Fire" Brother Thomas states that he sprays a
"gum" over a glaze before pouring stain. Apparently, the gum makes the
glazed surface less dry and porous allowing the stain to flow.
I've noticed when applying a stain or glaze over a glazed surface the dry
surface soaks up the liquid and impedes any kind of fluid application. I'm
interested in any material that would encourage a more flowing mark.
TIA.

have you tried glycerin? You can put it on the piece, let it "dry" and
then put glaze or over glaze over it or put it in the glaze. I haven't
tried the latter, but the former works. Jeni
