When 2 oz. jars of glaze or underglaze need re-mixing, has anyone developed
a way of mixing it other than adding glass marbles and shaking it or pouring
it into a larger container and using a Braun or something similar to
reconstitute the mixture so that it can be brushed on without leaving hunks
of glaze? Has anyone concocted some sort of tool in place of a bit in a
Dermal tool for re-mixing small amounts of glaze? Something like a small
wisk that would fit the dermal would me nice or even a small beater from a
hand held mixer. I have looked and haven't been able to find one that would
fit the jar opening.
I know it is just a small thing but when you live 200 miles from
anywhere.......

there are some mini wisks at the craft store, I think that you might be able to
fit one of those in the dremel, or you could probably take # 18 wire and twist
it into a a series of loops and then hammer the loops to flatten and work harden
them and then put that into the dremel.

Lori,
I have a small wisk about 1/4" across the wisk part and about a 3"
handle. Look in a cooking utensil shop. Mike

Hi Lori,
You might try contacting a dental or medical supply company. Dentists have
those tiny little mixer tools for mixing filling materials. Maybe you could
locate a used one. Also, I once had a little Dremmel drill. I'll bet you
could make and fire a mixing bit for one, just a little fan blade shaped
flat at the end of a bit shaft, like a drywall mud mixing tool only tiny.
Good luck,
Katie Cordrey.

for the dremel tool there is a bit that allows you to attach cutting disks and
things like that. Try using a small piece of stainless steel about the size of
pencil sharpener blade. Drill a small hole in the center of it and then perhaps
twist it to the shape of a rotor blade and voila! A small mixing tool. I never
would have thought of it if you hadn't asked. I will make one for myself. I have
a lot of dried out 2-4 oz glazes that I inherited from different sources.
Thanks.

I made a mini mixer by bending wire loops and cutting and shaping them to
resemble the shape of a cooking whisk.Then I assembled them in a circular
shape (like a cooking whisk) and bound them by twining wire around the stem.
This I insert into a battery operated screw driver and presto I have a mini
whisk.
Hope this helps.
