With my Irabo runny ash glaze, I put a thin coat on the
bottom half of the pot. I used to thin the glaze with water and then
dip, but now I simply brush the coat on the bottom and then dip a
thicker (same thickness as my normal glaze) dipped on the top. The
brushed coat is thinner and because Irabo moves, any brush marks
disappear. This save me from having to thin the base glaze.
With nuka (saturated silica white) over temmoku: glaze
the inside first. I have been putting kaki on the insides of my
bottles and vases (it has a wide firing range and assures maturity in
the cool parts of the kiln. Then glaze the bottom 2/3rds with temmoku
and the top 2/3rds with nuka. You can see a photo of the effect here
(also my temmoku recipe):

If you go here, you can find Phil Roger's synthetic nuka recipe (delete
copper for white):

The Seiji (I have called it Sa-ge before. Seiji is what Celadon is
called in Japan. Seiji Nuka is Nuka green.)
Nuka over white nuka does interesting things too.
