Directions:
Mix one part glaze to one part water by weight (1 gallon of water weighs
8.333 lbs). 5 lbs uses almost 1 gallon of water. 25 lbs uses 3
gallons of water. Let sit 24 hours, adjust consistency for application. May be dipped, poured, or brushed. For best results
screen with a 60 to 100 mesh sieve.
Other Ideas:
Opulence glazes can go hotter than cone 6, for a flowing look
(use on inside of a bowl for example so it doesn't stick to kiln
shelves). Add Mason Stains to make your own colors; overlap different
Opulence glazes, sprinkle dry Mason Stains or oxides over wet Opulence
glaze. Test!

more interesting that you would think by looking at the chip! |
