<p>Hello, </p>
<p>I'm looking for a cone 6 base glaze recipe that is not just runny but will give nice big fat drips. I'd like to use this glaze as an accent. Since I'm making a wish list here, I'd also like the glaze to be able to take mason stains. Finally, it would be great if the glaze is food safe. Does a recipe like this exist? If not, I can do a cone 04 recipe if I have to.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks for your help,</p>

<p>"I am fairly new to pottery and would really love to know how one goes about glazing a piece so that there is no white foot visible at the bottom of the pots.

I keep noticing and admiring various members work where the glaze reaches all the way down to the bottom of the piece, even on glazes that are known to be runny. I really dislike the white band (no matter how narrow I get it) at the base of my pieces. I have tried taping the foot and waxing a very small foot, dipping into wax or just freehand on the wheel. And yes there is always that dreaded white band. Any words of wisdom or advice would be apprecaited!"</p>
<p>The first reply came in from Jeff Poulter a bit later on 7/24/2012:</p>
<p>"I have a few ideas. I use the ultimate edger to put a rounded foot on each piece I throw. I spray my glazes so you can get just the right amount clear down to the foot and I stilt everything in the glaze firing. I use Roselli stilts and just clip the little metal prongs off as they will deform at cone 5/6 and your pot could tip over(learned that the hard way!) Hope these ideas help."</p>
<p>Joanna replied back again on 7/24</p>
<p>"Jeff - Thank you for your reply! That was what I thought I should be doing. I do use the ultimate edger myself, love it! I am planning on ding a more spraying now that I have everything working at home. I will look into the slit idea as my mind was wondering about that too! Funny you should reply it was your red flared bowl that made me finally ask! Love it! Looking forward to the pictures after your bisque fire. thank you! jo</p>
<p>I have another method, and we will likely get more, so I have moved this conversation to a discussion page of its own.</p>
