I use a hypodermic needle to apply raku glaze. See CM May '97 for
details on the line drawings.
The only problem I have had is with an occasional burp from an air
bubble. I use the "glycol" solution and water and add a few drops to my
glaze before applying. Check the archives for the glycol solution. I
don't have it here.

In more or less of a bead look. I am not sure whether there is a special recipe or there is something that you can add to a favorite glaze to make it have this quality. I tried looking in the archives with no luck. Thanks in advance to all who can help.
