MarkS Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I am trying to get together an order for some glaze materials and need to order silica. My supplier has 200 and 325 mesh. Which should I go with? Most recipes I've seen don't specify. Or just use whichever costs less? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I think 325 is better for glazes. Just my opinion. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkS Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 That was my thought too. And besides it costs a little less! Is finer mesh better in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 i have used 200 mesh in clay bodies and in kiln wash and sometimes in glazes. I guess it is a personal preference. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
