Laguna Dry Glaze Mixing
Instructions for Cone 5 and Cone 10 Dry Glazes
The following instructions and measurement guidelines are intended only as
a general reference. All Laguna C5 and C10 Dry Glazes are formulated for
spraying or dipping. Refer to the table (at right) and:
- Measure water into a
clean container
- Add dry glaze slowly
into the water while mixing continuously
- Screen through an 80-100
mesh sieve twice*
- Check viscosity with a
hydrometer. Readings should be:
55 for dipping
color glazes
46-47 for dipping clear glazes
60 for spraying glazes
- For best results allow
glaze to sit for 24 hours and re-mix thoroughly before application.
|
* Note: if
glaze is too thin after screening, allow it to sit for 24 hours (as
recommended) and skim a small amount of the clear water off the top before
re-mixing. Re-sieve one time before application.
