Hi Rachael, There isn't an exact formula. I just get it thick enough to
pick up on a finger or brush, but thin enough to get into a hairline crack.
Probably as thick as slip. If your crack is quite wide, you may have to
apply more than once. When it's fired, you can't even tell there ever was a
crack. Just make sure that you don't use it on the bottom of a piece that
will come into contact with your kiln shelf.
