This one is for all the glaze gurus and experts out there;
I acquired some glaze (in a bucket - premixed) from a woman who retired from pottery. It is a beautiful creamy white BUT is very touchy. It cracks and flakes off my bisque and if I don't carefully smooth all the hairline cracks before firing it ends up with unglazed pot bits showing (I know there is a technical name for it but I'm not a morning person and my brain ain't workin' yet). I do not know the recipe for this glaze and though I contacted the potter, she could not help me either. Is there anything I can do to help this glaze stick to my pots better? Thin it? Thicken it? Add something? It is a lovely white and so soft to the touch when it comes out right but that is only about 1/3 of the time. Thanks in advance.
