Tajai, When I spray micas, I use 50/50 ratio (approximately) and 1/4 teaspoon of Pearlex mica. Here in AZ, that mixture dries very fast and is ready to fire very quickly.

Cliff, Very carefully, ha. All kidding aside, you have to make a firing of strips, in my case 13, that have refactory strips spaced underneath them.
