You are a dirty rotten cheat ONLY if you call a painted surface glazing.
I know that in using oils or acrylics on canvas in thin transparant
overlays,the technique is called glazing,but in a ceramic context glazing
has a different meaning.
I think you are entitled to use anything that works to get the results
desired but lets not inadvertantly deceive by usingthe wrong descriptive
terminology.
