I have started experimenting with terra sig but am not sure i'm doing it
right. do you put it on when the pot is leather hard or bone dry, Do you
burnish it while still a little damp or dry? How many coates? Thanks Vicki

Vicky -
For lots of information on terra sig, you can check my spiel on the subject
on Tony Hansen's Digitalfire webpage at
http://digitalfire.com/education/glaze/terasig.htm
Make sure your sig is mixed very thin - 1.15 density (or specific gravity).
Apply it to bone-dry pots, and apply as many coats as you want up to fifteen
or twenty coats. Just keep applying coats until you get the surface you
want.
Best wishes -
