If any one is interested in buy one and not wasting time building one you
may want to check this out. They're nice, small and easy to clean and
change to different glazes. Works great in a 5 gallon bucket.

I have been getting a lot of requests for drawings and photos for the glaze
geyser. Too many of the folks that have asked are unable to open a compressed
file, and I do not know how to send them any other way.
To simplify this exchange of information send me your snail mail addresses
and I will mail a crude drawing and a digital photo of the pump and another
of it in action.
I have tried to FAX the photo and it doesn't work very well.
A number of folks that did know how to open a compressed file have put these
pumps together and have let me know that they are pleased with the results.

Dear Bill:

Could you just post the info on a web page. Then people could just print it
right off the screen instead of you having to deal with all the snail mail.

Regards,
June
PS: Your email didn't include your snail mail address.

Bill:
how about a page on www.photopoint.com which is free and easy to use even for
computer illiterate me? And we could all visit and look at the geyser photos
and other thing.
Just a thought, Thanks
Mayssan

If you want to email it to me, I'll post it on my web site and let you know
the link to it so you can let people know where to find it.

Four years ago a friend brought a glazing pump by the studio. I tried it

out and found it made glaze lining a lot faster and did a better job than

I could by pouring. He told me the price and my potter's brain said..I

can do it for less. He took his back to his studio.

I first rigged up a small sump/bilge pump with a foot switch and that

worked okay until the switch got switched without a pot over the spray

and the studio got glazed. You talk about a fast way to glaze your

pots.right on the shelf. I'm still cleaning glaze off the ceiling/walls!

The electric pump was also tricky to clean and the danger of shock was

troubling. Since glazes are liquid sandpaper, the plastic pump parts wore
out fast.

Plan B was to make one out of plastic pipe. Most of the parts were easy

enough to find and pretty cheap. As soon as I figure out three small parts I

haven't been able to get to work right after many hours/days .I'll let you
know.

As with the electric pump, I think the glazes will grind right through the
plastic.

I finally bit the bullet and bought one. I'm hooked. Every potter that drops

by the studio has to have one, so I started offering the Glaze Geyser. After
you

finish your experiments, give me a call. Once you try one out in your studio
and

you're not convinced this is the tool for you, I offer a full refund.I know
it's a

super tool.
