Hi, Callie. Thank you for responding. I am wondering about calling Amaco's support line to see if they can help. Has anyone tried this?

Pres, Thank you so much for your detailed reply! I will explore the Epsom Salts method. The ricer is also a good idea. We use forks a lot to mix in small containers. Does anyone have an idea why this seems to be worse with matte glazes? Thanks for the Welcome to the Forum. I really appreciate it!

Hi, I am a ceramic tile maker and I use a lot of commercial glazes in my work. I have been doing this for over 30 years and have found that I can almost always bring glazes back to a usable consistency by breaking up the pieces, adding water and mixing. I am having a lot of trouble doing this with matte glazes in particular. We are finding that they tend to lift off the bisqued tiles. I have seen a lot of posts about using Amaco's gum solution. I have done this with mixed results. Recently, Darvan 7 was recommended. I recently started using an immersion blender to do this, which seems to help, but it is a continuous challenge. Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated.
