Question
I am looking for "Natural Strawberry" that was an Africana Glaze.  Do you have any idea where I might get some.

Answer
Hi Donna, use the clear galze you are using now and add RED GLAZE STAIN POWDER to it, add WHITE powder to cut intesity down, 10grams of powdred stain to 150mills(liquid) of clear glaze. This makes it 100grams of powder to 1.5Kg of liquid clear glaze. Play with these combinations, it will work with any colour.
