Hi Randy,
I've mixed and testes all the wonderful glazes in Mastering Cone 6 Glazes=
,=20
and I found that 1/3 - 1/2 cup water per 100 grams test mix worked best f=
or=20
me. I use extruded "L" shaped, sequentially numbered tiles for all my te=
sts,=20
so I always dip, never brush. See if this works for you,
