Whatever you do to thicken your glaze, and I did not read all the =
advice. you might try this which someone suggested--sorry, don't recall =
who, and I do.
As you want the same slip thicker or thinner, depending on what you mean =
to do, keep a jar of every slip in almost paste form. The thickness of =
commercial mayo. Keep the jar on hand and when you need to thicken up =
your clay, just add some to the thinner at need, sieve, and you're in =
business.
For filling and refilling slip trailers, esp the Wondrausch ones, a =
really big ketchup or dressing or mustard bottle works well. They now =
have miny spouts, and you squeeze the slip into the trailer as you would =
squeeze ketchup or mustard on a hot dog.
I have never been able to reuse cheesecloth. I admit there must be =
something wrong with me, but after the first use of the pristine =
cheesecloth it gets flabby and twisted and nasty. I have found old =
cotton shirting, or sheets much easier to use.

Lili:
The trick to reusing cheese cloth is to wash it in cold water, wring
it out by crumpling it in your palms (don't ever "wring it out", lay
it out on an ironing board, and iron it dry (over a rag or towel)
with spray starch liberally applied.
It's too much work, trust me! New cheesecloth is cheap by
comparison to all your time spent, and the cost of the starch, and
electric.
But as an exercise in futility it CAN be done.
Best,
