2) Whiting. Do you have tips on how to get the whiting smooth, and how thick to put it down? On a recent attempt firing painted float glass, I tried the Elkus newspaper flattening technique. The whiting was Champagne chalk, I found it very difficult to get it perfectly smooth. And the glass did pic...
