What are some different ways to apply my glaze?

Different glaze effects

For an interesting effect in an electric kiln, add between 3% and 10% rutile to any glaze. Your glaze will often get a nice mottled texture which is similar to reduction glazes. Rutile can also affect the colors in an interesting way. We also sell a product called a texturizer which contains rutile and can be brushed on to specific areas, over or under your glaze. By painting designs on with this, you will get a very subtle effect where the texture changes. Look under "additives".
