Does anyone know what thickness this glaze should be applied? I have 10#
of it that I inherited from my Sr. Citizens' studio, but there are no
directions included. :(

TIA

Lisa,
I have used this glaze before, it is not what you would call a
beautiful glaze if you plan to use it as Laguna formulated it. If you plan
to use it for raku, add at least one level teaspoon of copper carb (per
cupful dry,) to it as you mix it with water. Add one cup water to one cup
dry mix. After one day this glaze will thicken conciderably and you can add
water and use it but I wouldn't let it sit for much longer. If you don't
plan to use it for raku, throw it as far as you can. It would be worthless
for any thing else.
