Deflocculating glazes,Darvan 7 and glazes for brushing
Hi Jorge,
You got it backwards - if the glaze is hardpanning you need to flocculate
it - if it's gelling you need to deflocc it.
Alkalies - say from Neph Sy will defloc a glaze and make it hard pan. - and
you need to flocculate - you got that part right.

>you have to Floculate ( I use Epsom Salts, thanks Ron) and when it
>hardpans you have to Deffloculate.
>Generally glazes containing some kind of materials that sooner or later

>Hope this makes sense to you.
