How do I apply glaze?

Salt and pepper shaker holes

It is often difficult to keep salt and pepper shaker holes in the top from filling in with glaze during the firing. Next time insert short pieces of toothpick in each hole and put them in the kiln that way. The wooden toothpick will burn out during the firing but will help to keep holes clear of glaze.
