Hi!
I buy my CMC in powder, 100 grams in a small jar. In the plastic jar's
cover I make two small holes. To a bucket I pour 2 liters of boiled
water.
With an electric drill and jiffy mixer I mix the CMC that spilled from
one of the small holes I have made in the cover. (The other hole, let's
the air in) 2 liters - 2000 grams. Now I mix it slowly like it was
mayonnaise. Keep the result in closed plastic box.
The final line: When I need it for a test I take one spoon.
When I need it to a recipe that call for 2% I add to the 1000 gram
glaze 2% x 10 x 20 cmc = 400 grams as part of the water. BUT there is a
big but. When you do it the first time, even if the recipe calls for 2%
do it with one %. You always can add
the only glaze I would not hesitate to add all the CMC is a majolica
glaze
