Just to clarify--regarding dulling sprays and my prior photography posts:

The first dulling spray product I submitted was shown mainly as an EXAMPLE of the APPLICATION of such products, because it had an image and specs regarding what a dulling spray product COULD ACCOMPLISH in the glare-reduction arena.

As that one is more of a semi-permanent product, however, it would of course not be best for most ceramic applications--especially the spot-spraying of glare spots for momentary photography.

For that, with ease of wash-off after, one could go with the Krylon Dulling Spray [note Specs recommending Ceramics use]

OR the [British] Blair product [Blair SPRAY DULL, NOT their SPRAY CLEAR--ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PRODUCTS FOR ENTIRELY DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS!]

cited in the second post, if that one proves to be easier to access in your location.

Remember, light touch: Little dab'll do ya!

Chrome-dome execs, you just hit 'em with it from behind before their top gets all moist, and tell 'em it's HAIR SPRAY. [Chrome-dome execs LOVE the yes-man delusion that they *need* HAIR SPRAY! ;) *ahem* Better to politely pad the nest than guarantee the swift exit....]

[Or, in a pinch, could USE hair spray...it dulls also, tho unfortunately with a rather imperfect film coverage, typically.]

And HEY, at LEAST I did not get into polarizers, diffusers, gels, etc. etc. etc. etc.!

[How'd ya love carting around ALL THAT junk???]

Best wishes in picturing your beautiful babies in their best light! :D

Over half the day gone, and most of it sleeping due to staying up on this last night, pardon my abrupt departure, but one does need to locate a roof... overhead.......
