I tested John Hopper's gold that was recently posted. Came out nice with
some flow, but did not run in my firing. If you get it on thick it will pin
hole. Tried it over Nutmeg and got some nice depth, turned Nutmeg a satin
gloss with a good bit of variation. Fast fired up and down. Poured a thin
layer of nutmeg then dipped thin layer of gold glaze. Nice and smooth. I
was impressed with it. Want to try it over some of Jayne Shatz's matt glazes
next with a 1 hour hold at 1650 deg F.
