ayjay Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Last autumn I mixed a small (100 gram) batch of ^6 crawl glaze, a simple recipe (Magnesium Carbonate 25, Nepheline Syenite 70, Ball clay 5), it worked fine, did exactly what I wanted. I wanted to use it today and cracked the lid open to give it a stir and it's turned a pale turquoise in colour, I'm fairly anal about not contaminating one product with another so I don't think that that's the cause. I only have enough left for what I want for one pot, so there's no great cost involved in starting again, but should I, or is it OK to use; I do want it to fire white as it did originally. Should I always mix this in small quantities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I wouldn't worry so much about the color in the bucket. If you're certain it didn't get contaminated, go ahead and use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Neil, I think to be on the safe side I'll use this on something else in the future and make some fresh stuff up anyway, I really do want it to be white in this instance, it's such a small quantity it's not worth worrying about, and the old stuff may produce a nice surprise when I do use it.
