Hi Barbara,
I seal my raku vases (which are porous and need a layer of sealant to
prevent seepage) using Pour-On epoxy made by Environmental Technology, =
Inc
(of California). It's easy to use. Mix parts equally, and pour into =
the
vessel. Coat all interior surfaces by tipping the pot. Let it set a =
day or
two. It not only seals the pot, but also strengthens it. I buy mine at =
the
local hardware store.
