I have a glaze which seems to get thinner by the time the bucket is
getting empty.
This doesn't make particular sense to me--due to frequent settling one
might expect the glaze to be thicker as the bucket gets empty.
It seems like the mechanism of making glaze stick to a pot is this: the
dry or bisque pot sucks in moisture from the glaze, leaving a thickened
coating on the pot. I can't see why extra glaze should stick, leaving
the water behind. Of course I could be misled that this is happening,
as it's rather a subjective appraisal...
Any good theories or interesting guesses?

Is there a binder such as CMC in the glaze. I've had glazes poop out on me
that were mixed with CMC. For some reason, the stuff just got runny after a
while.
