thin crust of glaze Joanna 11-04-2007

Hello everyone,

I have small question about glazing and glazes. The problem is as follows:

I've bought recently an excellent glaze (Botz from Germany), it's really
good, it made some thin crust on the surface and the glaze stick really hard
and not peel off during touching and moving to the kiln.
I have another glaze that has beautiful color but is completely awful to
work with it because of its looseness. It is like a powder and peel off
during the slightness touch.
Now I use a hair spray - it is good solution but it is not environment
friendly way to deal with this problem. I wonder can I add something to my
glaze to improve its feature, some flour, some honey, maybe a sugar? Maybe
instead of spraying should wet my stuff in some varnish ?

Would someone be so kind and help me? I would be grateful for any
suggestion.

greeting from Poland, Europe :)

tkank you very much. I'v just loaded kiln but I am going to glaze another
part of my beads in a few day time so I certainly try this carpenter's wood
glue.

No, not glue..... Put about 2-3% bentonite in the glaze to help it adhere
better. It will also help to keep it from settling out.

I know assume makes an ass of you and me but I just assumed this person was
using premixed glazes from the way they stated it. I think adding the
bentonite in that case would be rather difficult to add (especially if it is
small jars of glaze)..
