If the glaze has gotten into this state your best bet is a ball mill.

That it became so in the first place is the problem.

Now here is some dubious advice.

If a glaze is defloccing because a material (Neph Sy for instance) is
slowly releasing sodium into the slop - and you ball mill it - make the
particles smaller - it will result in fasert release of the sodium into the
slop - and make the problem worse.

Good grief - RR
