First, the clay/vinegar/corn syrup mixture was called SPOOZE by our own
Peggy Hear and that is how it is known on Clayart.
Second, you do want to re-bisque your piece before glaze firing. In my
experience the glaze will crawl so often over any area of raw clay that it
is not worth the gamble. Alot easier to include it in another bisque than
to deal with glaze coverage problems after the glaze firing.

I have used the crack filling material from Archie Bray, and that solution
does an excellent job filling cracks, but does not accept glaze very well on
top of it , if at all. You can put glaze on top of the filler, but the glaze
will run off that spot in the firing. I allow the filling material to set
overnight, and then apply a coat of underglaze over it, and if possible,
rebisque. The underglaze seems to allow the glaze to adhere. I will try the
same method when I experiment with spooze.
