Thank you Ron,
I make it a point to read every one of your posts even if
the subject being discussed doesn't pertain to what I'm dong.
I often pick up valuable bits of information.
While I already knew about putting a stiffer glaze over one more fluid
would give interesting patterns I never heard that tin would stiffen up a
glaze.
One more gem to add to my treasure chest of glaze info.
