Amount of water to add to Clayscapes Pottery Glazes per pound
Water Density is different in different parts of the country. These formulas work for the Central NY area. You might need to add more or less water to your glaze if it is too thick or thin. These are intended for dipping/pouring but with modifications you can certainly spray/brush them. If you have any questions, please contact us. These are all glazes that we use in our own studio and we will be glad to speak with you on any issues you may come across. It is important to TEST before you use in production.
If you find the glaze hard panning then you have added to much water.

These jars of glaze contain 1 pound of dry powdered glaze. The brushing media has already been added so all you need to do is add water - shake and mix. We recommend shaking the glaze in the jar vigorously and then using a power drill with a mixing attachment for a couple of minutes. We still recommend letting the glaze sit overnight and then re-mixing again the next day. Like most brushing glazes be sure to get good coverage for best results. (2-3 coats)

Be Sure to Clean the lip and lid of your jar thoroughly after each use before sealing it again. This will keep the lid easy to remove in the future.
Dry glaze in a jar means lower shipping costs for you. It also means a little extra work on your end. You may need to add water over time to keep your glaze at a good brushing consistency but be sure to shake or mix up your jar before adding more water.
