Pro Series Mixing Guide

Wet mixing from dry powder:

The starting point for most of the Pro Series glazes is 8 oz. - 12 oz. (235ml - 355ml) of water for Every 1 lb of dry glaze.

Some glazes require more water or less water per pound of dry glaze, so we recommend starting with 8 oz. and adding small amounts until you reach the correct specific gravity.

If the specific gravity is correct, but the slurry is too thick, the viscosity can be adjusted by adding a small amount Darvan. Alternatively if a glaze is too thin, a solution of Epsom Salt and water can be added to thicken the slurry.

For best results, mix throughly with a mechanical mixer by adding dry powder to water and sieving with a 60 mesh or 80 mesh sieve.

Our values are based on a 1-2 second quick dip on a cone 06 bisque Laguna B-Mix 5, Laguna MC-60 @ Cone 6 & Standard 105 @ Cone 06 clay bodies. The values may need to be adjusted to fit your clay body, and application style.

For best safety practice, make sure you are wearing a NIOSH approved resiprator, or are in a well-ventilated area, and mix slowly adding dry powder to water.
