Question
hello Mr Sam
I want ask about Matt glaze how can i make it more smooth and silky
Hi Mo, Matt glazes are what is known as a 'dry glaze', they do not come out smooth or silky because of the glaze ingrediants, changing these will change the glaze.
The only option would be to find a clear(shiney or matt) glaze that matures at a lower temperature than the dry glaze and fire again.
