One of the easiest ways to decrease or eliminate excessive foaming
in glazes is to add a small amount of defoamer, available from swimming
pool or spaw maintenance companies.

Cindy,
what do you mean by "foaming"? Is it bubbles that run on the surface of
the glaze in the bucket as you move it or shake it , sort of "coca
cola" type of bubbling? I had this problem with a glaze containing
spodumene. At Ron Roy's advice I wash my spodumene before mixing it into
the glaze - measure it, soak it in water, let it settle, pour the water
off, do it 6 times. The foamy scum comes out really nice and the glaze
is usable again. Works.
Happy washing
