Hi all
Has anyone out there tried using a small submersible pump as a glaze =
fountain for glazing insides of vessels? I see that they are a bit =
under $100. I tried a small pump that you attach to an electric drill =
but it didn't work well. I tried to buy a "glaze jet" but they are no =
longer being made. The fountain glazer by Ram Products is more than we =
want to spend on that type of equipment.

i don't see why this wouldn't work provided you end the day with a clean out procedure.
and you should be able to find submersible pumps for around $40 at the home depots, etc.
i used to have 2 fish ponds & used a couple "little johns" as pumps along with the main pump. they were course enough to pull the guppies thru the system, so glaze material shouldn't be a problem.
see ya

You probably can find some info on glaze fountains in the archives. But
I have seen pictures somewhere on someones (sorry - i don't remember who
or where) web site and the basis for their system was a pump from
Grainger. Check their catalog and you may find the pump you need to
build a fountain.

John, If you decide to try this, you can get pumps for a lot less
than $100. Try the Dick Blick catalog.

I have a fountain type glaze set-up that I made out of a boat bilge pump
that I bought at Wally World. These are cheap 12 volt submersibles, lower
GPM are fine. As I already had the battery charger and some extra car/boat
type batteries the power supply wasn't an issue. I made a cheap off/on
switch and connected some flexible plastic tubing to direct the flow and was
set to go. The one draw back I have found with this type of motorized set-up
is that the vibration from the pump can cause glazes to settle out kind of
quick.
