I mostly use ash glazes where I have the process down to a very simple method. I use a sprayer, actually I have lots of sprayers. I like the HVLP from Harbor Freight the best, I have two of them. For the ash glaze, I screen it through a 40 mesh screen and then an 80 mesh screen. I spray using 40 PSI.
