- Gently tumble the unopened bag to redistribute materials. Sieving is not necessary.
- Mix one 10 lb bag of dry material into at least 10 pints of water. Stir thoroughly.
- Add additional water until the desired specific gravity is reached. Specific gravity preference will vary between studios, persons, and practices.
- Our recommended specific gravity is in the range of 1.47-1.51. Adjust for different dipping times or layering practices.
Application Instructions:
- Stir well before use.
- Immerse the ware for 1-2 seconds.
- Allow the glaze to dry before applying additional coats if desired.

- Testing is recommended as factors such as clay body, the thickness of application, the firing process, and temperature will affect the fired results.
FAQ
-
Q: Can I mix the dry material with less water than recommended?
A: It is best to follow the recommended water-to-material ratio to achieve the desired specific gravity for optimal results. -
