quick question on the Malcolm Davis shino recipe - Kona F-4 - can NC-4 be substituted, if not are you still able to get Kona F-4 in Spruce Pine?

Hello John. I mixed up a batch of this using the recipe in your cone 10 book. At a specific gravity of 25 this is super watery. Is it supposed to be so thin or is my reading off? It also separates quite readily. Is that common?

How many coats is common for this glaze?

Love your books and your videos. So much amazing and useful information. Thanks for your advice.

Should be 125 grams per 100 ml.Sp.gr. is 125 not 25. About skim milk or 2%.....
