How much does the irid coating diminish the reaction?

Depends on the temperature you fire to. High enough and it makes no difference. Lower and you can get some interesting effects, especially with irid down against a copper glass.

Same as #12, just without the layer on the very bottom.

The How-Tos discuss how #12 was made. Just check the details out in the pdf. It starts on page 16.
