Sumi’s Volumetric Clear Glaze
Add stain in amounts between 1 and 2 parts.The pink and red stains work nicely in a ratio of 8 parts base mix to 1 part stain.
To test several colors, mix up a batch using large units such as cups.
Mix the dry ingredients together thoroughly by shaking them in a large sealable bag or in a bucket with a tight lid and allow to settle before opening.
Use 2 tablespoons of stain to each standard 8 ounce cup of glaze mix.
