Jason,
You need both. They are for different things. One is for mixing and it is
cheap. The other for sieving and it is essential to the process. I know
it it expensive but it is a great investment and a time saver!
Hope that helps,

Hi Jason,
A mixer that is attached to a drill isn't a substitute for a sieve. The
mixer will make it easier to initially mix the glaze, but it will still
need to be sieved. Since you already have a sieve, probably the mixer is
the better choice for now if you have to choose one or the other.

Hi all. I'm seeking advice from the sage old potters out there. I'm setting
up a new studio and have mixed enough 5 gallon buckets of glaze to realize
I really don't like using my manual sieve and brush. There seem to be two
(or more?) higher tech means of sieving glazes.. Jiffler mixers attached to
a drill and Talisman rotary sieves.
If I were to only get one, which one would y'all recommend, in your
infinite wisdom and experience?
Thanks,
Jason

You won't believe how much faster the Talisman is. I couldn't LIVE without
both items in my studio. Take the plunge and get them BOTH!
