marbles and sieves

To you glaze sifters. I use a vibrator to touch the side of the sieve and
it makes the glaze run through the screen at an incredible rate. I have
used many types of vibrators-they all work. There is a way to make a
shaking table top by attaching an offset shaft driven by a motor under
the table-which will do vibrating on a major scale. You just set your
receiving bucket on the shaking table with the sieve attached to the top of
it-does the same thing as a vibrator. I can't stand to mix glazes without
this-takes forever. Use the paintbrush to rub the sieve and make sure the
fine particles go through.

Best wishes.
