Craig,
I don't really know all the terminology...sorry. I just know what works =
=3D
for me. I use Darvon in my unwashed ash glazes...which tend to become =3D
pudding-like after several days due to the soluble alkalis in them, =3D
rendering them unusable for me (I spray my glazes on). Having tried all =
=3D
kinds of things over the years to alleviate the problem, I find the best =
=3D
and safest solution is to add a bit of Darvon 7 to them, which keeps =3D
them liquid over the long term. =3D20
Hope this clears it up...
