This is my first post -- here goes: I want to create the look of shallow
water, that is, a glaze that has some depth to it (about l/4 to 3/8 inch).
It needs to be transparent. I was under the impression that I could use
Ferro Frit 3134 or 3124 in powder form on top of a stained surface and that
would work fired at ^04 -- it didn't. I would prefer it not to be crazed if
possible. It could also have color in it, as long as it was transparent. I
know I could use actual glass, but I would rather use a frit, if possible.
I would appreciate any suggestions. I would prefer to stay around ^04, but
could go higher if necessary. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hi Sharon,
Try frit 3195, which is a low-fire frit. If you want it to actually
have a 1/4" thickness, you're going to have trouble regardless of
what you use; that's A LOT of frit or glaze. I'd try to use less.
Even better would be a nice layer of glaze, not just frit.
