This is a fluid but not necessarily runny glaze. (Any iron saturate glaze will
run if over fired or put on too thick.) I have found it best to fire it in a
mild reduction to neutral. And lately I've been turning off the kiln at Cone 9
bending. Thickness (or rather proper thickness) is always important for the
desired black. Bentonite is important as this glaze will settle out
immediately.
