Hi,
As a mathematically challenged newbie claybud I would appreciate info.as
to how to measure glaze ingredients in amounts such as: 7.32, 2.13, 56.07
gms.etc.
I'm sure it's as easy as breathing...but.. I guess I'll never be a rocket
scientist,either. Thanks, Fran

Fran:
All you need to make your glaze ingredients is a triple beam balance gram
scale. Once you see one your answer will be very clear.

What you need is a small scale that weighs things in grams in increments of
0.10. You shouldn't need anything finer. Anything less than 0.10 you can
use "Kentucky windage". The figures you quote have been spit out by some
calculating(double entendre) machine. Good luck!
