A response to Larry Phillips. The Chun Red is tricky. Consistent results
are challenging to attain, and from what our Chinese friends tell us, that
has been true for centuries. SOMETIMES a "somewhat thicker" application and
"somewhat slower" firing will enhance the results. Essentially "trial and
error" in your own application and firing environment is the best way to
determine what works best for you. Chun Red is anything but a "cookie
cutter" glaze, but the potential for spectacular results may be worth the
effort put forth to achieve them.

Yes, MS glazes are available dry. Just ask for MSD and the appropriate
color or number.
