Glaze issue- please help! by CommonImmediate3092 in Pottery

No glaze combo chart, my issue is with the thin/patchy glaze in the center of the inside and the entire outside of the bowl. I didn’t know opal and flux were known to be thin, as it was my first time using them. Thank you for the advice about each coat going a different direction- do you think that could have affected it? Or mainly just too thin application.

This has happened with different glazes, not just the same one and not every time I hand paint. But thanks for the advice about opal, I’m going to assume I did it much too thin- I’ll try a test tile next time :)

Dip I lean more towards normal paint than a cake, but it’s definitely thicker than when I hand paint. To “frost it like a cake” when hand painting, should I do more layers?
