Hi Kabe,
They batch them at the store and you can buy them wet or dry. They are finally getting around to batching up the crystalline glazes that he formulated for them. They are ^6 and they don't run. I was able to fire a couple of tests for him when he was developing them. I'm still bugging them to sell me some dry w/o colorants so I can do my own experimenting with my own colorants
Thanks. Jeff. Does your friend make the glazes for them and bag them up or are the premixed with water?
We recently had a new ceramic supply house open here and my friend went to work for them formulating clay & glazes. These are 2 of them. I have just begun to experiment with the layering process. They are available from Ceramic Supply USA(in Slat Lake City). They have them on their website, but I don't think they have prices up yet, but you can email them & they will email you a pricelist. They are pretty reasonable & they have a lot of nice glazes for ^04 up to ^10. Check it out...... jhp
very nice. I have been out of the loop for a spell so I need to ask are the two glazes commercial or are they on insight live? Happy firing Kabe

Harbor Freight is a great place to find unbeatable prices for better HVLP spray guns with stainless steel parts and serviceable economy models, as well as detail guns, all tested by our members for spraying glazes, as well as compressors to power the guns. As yet no one has tested and commented on the remarkably inexpensive air brushes at harbor freight.
The critter siphon gun is a spray alternative that is well liked by some of our members, and is available at amazon.
Amazon is also a competitive source for photo light tents for shooting professional quality pictures of your work. They also have the EZ Cube brand favored by several of our members. You might also want to purchase the book Photographing Arts, Crafts and Collectibles . . .
If you are up to creating videos of your work or techniques you might want to invest in a flip video camera

If you just want to spout off, it is best accomplished as a blog posting. If you want to get more guidance and ideas from other members, ask a question as a new discussion topic. In the upper right corner of the lists for both types of posting, you will find an "+Add " button. Clicking it will open an editor where you create your posting. 4/16/2014
