glaze won't spray well

The following glaze works beautiful at cone 6 for dipping, but when sprayed
it beads up and dusts off easily when dry. All my other glazes spray a nice
smooth wet surface. Adding water helps but then it curtains and runs off
the bisque. Increasing spray pressure don't help. Bisque is fired to large
cone 04. Question is which components could be culprit? Has anyone had
problem like this? Thanks for any replies.
