Hi there, I’ve never made a glaze! Does it mean if you use 46g of Minspar, then you use 30g of gerstley borate and 13g of epk etc?
Thank you Susie xx
Hi Susie – not sure of you got an answer. Yes these are the percentages. So if you want to make 100 grams you would use those amounts, but if you want to make 1000grams you would add a 0, so 460 grams of minispar, etc.
What is the specific gravity of this glaze? TIA
Sorry. I need to know how much water to add. Maybe instructions on how to mix the glaze. Again, thank you.
Hi
I tried the clear 2167 on Laguna 609 clay which has a 13%shrinkage and experienced crazing. At the pottery shop where I got it fired they suggested that I increase the silica. If I were to increase the percentage of silica, which of the others would I decrease so that I come out to 100?
Thanks so much for any help!
