Pots by Char Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Just finished making 5 batches of cone 5/6 glaze. Used the same amount of dry ingredients, 2000 gm for each one...but came up with five different amounts of wet glaze...it always amazes me how this happens. Guess I need to start writing down how each one turns out so I can adjust the dry ingredients to fit the containers I have..lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JBaymore Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 When you understand the differences in the molecular weights of the various chemicals.... you understand why that happens.

neilestrick Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yep, different ingredients take in water differently. I used to make 9000-9500 grams batches when I was working in cone 10. Now most of my cone 6 glazes are 8500 gram batches due to their higher clay content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pots by Char Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 one of my recipes had a lot of ball clay in it..and it took up the whole bucket plus some..gonna have to get it a larger container..lol Most of my glaze making experience has been with cone 10 glazes and I didn't notice so much of a difference with them..but cone 6 is a whole different ball game..but its fun to play..
