Hi Folks,
At the Guild Studio School, we have three glazes that have a rock hard
scaley material in the bottom. The glazes contain 3110 frit and a couple of
other ingredients that I know probably are not the culprits. The question
is, should we start over and clean out the buckets with each new batch or is
there an additive that can prevent this? - or is it a problem that we can
ignore? Some students have been having trouble with the glazes not being
glassy enough, but that could be application. I'm assuming it is some kind
of calcination. Could it be from our water? Any feedback will be appreciated

High-frit glazes can settle badly. Try adding bentonite.

The glaze should be reformulated/ You can E mail it to me and I will try
to do my best.

Send me the recipe and the kinds of ball clay you have - 3110 will leach
sodium into glazes and deflocculate them. Better include what other frits
you have or can get.
