wow a friend of mine just made the most amazing glaze ever. we did a glaze
firing yesterday and on one of his pots he crushed up alkaseltzers (am i
spelling that right?? who cares) in his glaze. it was just a normal
manufactured glaze, amaco's red hot red, but man it turned out absolutely
beautiful!! it came out of the kiln much darker than the origional with
black flecks and a beautiful oil spot like pattern with a smooth flowing
texture. very very cool.
just figgured i would post that up for the world to read.
we will most definately be playing around with that some more in the recent
future.

So the basic ingredient seems to be sodium bicarbonate: Baking Soda.
I guess the effect of putting it in a glaze is a mini localized salt
fuming?

Seems reasonable that Alka Seltzer would brigten the colors in a glaze --
it is mostly sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), and sodium tends to
encourage bright colors in glazes. Did you observe any increase in
runniness or crazing due to the tablets? I would expect those to be
likely side effects if you added a lot of tablets to the glaze.

Hi gang,
I found the posts about Alkaseltzer in glazes quite interesting. I have
a question for those who tried it. Did you mix the crushed tablets into the
liquid glaze attempting to disolve them prior to glaze application, or were
the pieces of Alkaseltzer pressed or sprinkled onto the damp glaze after
application? Also how large were the pieces of tablets?
Thanks,

I've been using Alka Seltzer Gold for years. It helps stop an allergic
reaction quickly. An allergist told me to always carry it with me and I've used it
many, many times since.
It's a dark gold-orangeish box.

If the effect is a "localized salt fuming", can it be safely done in a
electric kiln without damage to the kiln? What cone was it fired to and how
much alkaseltezer was put in the glaze?

I have the same question as Debbie and wouldn't you have to worry about the
toxic fumes. Jackie
