B. SLOP/SCRAP GLAZE MIXTURES:
The basic ingredient for the Mystery Glazes is the sedimet from
the glaze table wash-off buckets. Allow the buckets to settle
overnight. Carefully decant all the water off the top of the bucket
and mix the remaining sediment thoroughly. Test batches of 1,000 gr.
of the sediment are mixed with colorants at 1% to 10% and test tiles
are fired. Here are some of my Mystery Glazes. These batches are for
about 5 gal.
