thanks all. Don't think we have liquid starch but maybe I can mix some. Is it way too soft otherwise?

I have a recipe that is for firing at cone 04, stroke n' coats will lose none of their color at ^04. This recipe can be brushed to dipped, try to keep the application thin though.

Ah heck, the more I learn , the more confused . I'm not yet making my own glazes, so how do I know if they are acid or base? Buy ph strips? The UTube was definitely informative.

I found this good article as far as viscosity http://www.baileypot...cosityguide.htm however they say 40 to 60 seconds to empty a viscosity cup is good while several other articles I read say 18 to 20 seconds. That's quite a difference ! Waaa!
