I found out by testing that if I put a cup of celadon glaze with all
the iron for a bucketful of new glaze - through a 140 mesh sieve there
was no more mottling.
Easy of you use a little more water.

does this work for black iron also?
I am getting some nice spotting on a beautiful yellow glaze. However, I =3D
wouldn't want the same spotting on a celedon.=3D20
Thank you for that tip. It sounds easier. I have a wonderful set of 8 =3D
Standard brass sieves from Golden recycling in Montana.
I'll try it.

Marcia,
You can also change the iron to synthetic yellow or synthetic red iron an=

there is no specking as it is so fine. I also use Barnard or Redart. 140 =

150 mesh sieve is very tight and difficult to pass things through. That =

why they ball mill.
