Dan,
Back in '73 I had good luck using Cheap red wine as a vehicle for the Stanous Chloride. It was put in a bug sprayer and sprayed on the pot as it was cooling a bit before going into the reduction can. When iused to blow glass we put some hot glass on the Stanous chloride crystals and held the hot glass in the cloud. You could try putting some
crystals in the can on a piece of shelf and having a helper put a bit of hot firebrick in there on/next to the crystals and follw that with your pot closing the can asap. And YES don't breathe the fumes. Can't be good for you.
Your results will vary with the temperature of the glaze and other factors.

Rick,
You jog my memory.
When we used to fire salt kilns and fume stannous chloride we put the
crystals in old metal orange juice concentrate jars (the same ones used
on mufflers) after breaking the door 1/2 down at ^10. Using tongs we'd
wave the can around the kiln. Then as approaching cool red heat we'd
brick the door back up. For raku I always sprayed between the kiln and
the reduction cans. I remember people using it as you mention for glass blowing.
