And since my surface isn't too high I'm going to use a brush about this size. Actually I ordered this brush online, I'm pretty happy with it, I got it as a set, pretty inexpensive. So, this is where the fun begins. Instead of dipping into a jar or bucket of glaze, I'm actually going to apply it this way and in layers, and that way we don't have to worry about it not giving me the final shiny glaze that I'm wanting. So we'll keep doing that around the entire outside and not on the bottom and we'll let it dry."
