Hi, Bev.
First question
add the mason stain to an engobe or a base glaze with the surface you want. 10-20%
depending on the depth of color and the individual stain's intensity.
Second question: sounds like you're talking about remaking the molds.
To reinforce molds you can apply strips of cloth or even get the cast material
bandages of gauze nd plaster.
I have used cloth strips of an inch or two in width as reinforcing large shape.
Best wishes,
marcia in montana where is seems very cold but isn't below zero yet this year.
Ground is white with snow.

Hey!
any chance you could narrow down "Europe" a little so we can work out what
you mean?
