I thought that this might be valuable information to those of you
interested in maintaining the intergrity of glazes as they set around in a
bucket after having been wet-mixed. Tom Buck informed me that epsom salts
(magnesium sulfate) prevents the crystallization of gerstley borate, a
common ingredient in many glazes, in my case a copper red glaze. Use
approx. 4 g epson salt per 100 g of gerstley borate... Since the
possibility of crystallization and settling-out is reduced, the shelf life
of such glazes is significantly increased. (Tom... please correct me if I
got it wrong....) I hope some of you find this information to be
helpful....
Best Wishes.... Marshall
