To weigh out sodium silicate use a paper cup as it adheres to glass and =3D
glazes, use glazes with sodium silicate same day made or sodium silicate =

will come out of solution.
The surface sheen and fluidity of the following glzes are strongly =3D
influenced by firing length as well as the underlying glace. To fine =3D
tume the overglaze adjust the flux content.

Hope this is of some help to you I think this information came from =3D
ceramics ill.=3D20
I have not tried any of the reciepes so you definitly will want to =3D
test.
good luck and let me know how things turn out.=3D20
