2 separate Shaners. Red and Gold.
Right now my batch is like 2%. I've even added more water since I glazed the baking dish. I do a quick dunk and count to 5. The blue is usually a 6-8 count. I glazed some pitchers that had some cracks where the handles attached towards the top. The blue was in that area. Covered over the cracks and saved the pitchers.
They became 'racers!'

Hoping I'm not too late in the conversation, I haven't fired ^10 for a while
but at that time I used shaner red and loved it. But thin it was and came
out predictably red.-e-in-oside-

A while back there had been some discussion of Shaner glazes. I've been working with a Shaner Red and Gold. I've even worked with layering one of my glazes over them. You can see what I've come up with on my unfinished website. www.potteryguy.biz
Scroll down to the baking dish. The glazes are Shaner Red, Shaner Gold, both layered and then a dip of my Egg Shell Blue over the gold.
I see what every one had meant by making sure the glazes were thin. When I first started, I mixed like my other glazes but everything was green.

Krista,
I suspect that the "thin" you are talking about is the thickness of the
glaze on the pot after it's been fired and not the thickness of the glaze in
the glaze bucket.
Try putting the glaze on with a thin coat. brush it off if that is what it
takes to get the coat thin.

Do you mean Shaner Red and Shaner gold or Shaner Red to Gold? I mixed up a batch of Red to Gold and it came out runny snotty light yellow green, almost ashy. It looked great with other glazes over it but was way too runny for any class application. I did notice it was closer to what it was supposed to be where it was thin but when I thinned it down I got the same snotty results. I remixed it to see if I had possibly mixed it wrong but same thing. Maybe I didn't go thin enough?? Should it be thin like skim milk or even thinner than that?

A while back there had been some discussion of Shaner glazes. I've been working with a Shaner Red and Gold. I've even worked with layering one of my glazes over them. You can see what I've come up with on my unfinished website. www.potteryguy.biz
Scroll down to the baking dish. The glazes are Shaner Red, Shaner Gold, both layered and then a dip of my Egg Shell Blue over the gold.
I see what every one had meant by making sure the glazes were thin. When I first started, I mixed like my other glazes but everything was green.
