Rachel,
I have no experience with this particular glaze, and I'm sure the glaze =
gurus will have some sound, technical advice. One of my glaze =
mainstays, however, is a Val Cushing cone 6 satin matte green. If =
applied too thin, it comes out an unattractive grayish color. When that =
happened in a few cases, I had great success reapplying the glaze and =
refiring it . If I were you, I'd certainly try applying more glaze to =
one platter and refiring it. Then you'll see whether it's worth =
refiring the other two.
Good luck.

Was covered too thin that refried with thicker applying of the
weathered bronze
Yet you can see the gray.
In the page , you can see what this glaze, thick made
to an experimental porcelain like claybody. The only glaze that made it.

I have refired this glaze successfully many times. It has to be put on
heavily or will turn an ugly brown. (Guess this means I don't learn very
fast) Did try spraying this glaze and that worked well as long as it was
applied heavily. It is a real pain to brush on and I was looking for and
easier way to apply it, since I use it on intricately carved garden lamps.
