mason stains and kiln book request

I imagine these topics have been covered recently and if so please respond
privately.

I recently have gotten the bug to stain some sculpture with Mason stains.
I want a thin mixture manipulatable by hand. Rubbed instead of brushed.
I'm firing to cone 8 in reduction. I'm trying to get a light colored
stoneware to add more color to my pallette.

Secondly, I'm considering rebuilding my kiln as a car kiln. I remember
someone suggesting a good reference book on this subject, but I didn't
write it down and it has left my memory.
