Several days ago I posting this question about my runny glaze. FIRST, I
want to thank all of the very helpful people who offered solutions to the
problem. You are very kind and generous.

I also want to add that in retrospect I see that I should have included
more information with my original posting.

Based on some of the emails I got I realize there are some potters who are
searching Clayart for useful glazes but don't have an understanding of the
materials.

I knew when I posted this glaze that it was unstable and loaded with
plenty of toxic materials and should never be used on functional ware. It
is purely decorative. I should have included that information on my
posting for the sake of those who might consider mixing some up and trying
it on a cup (DO NOT DO THAT).
