Moira Frossard Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 (edited) Why are 2 of my glazes becoming thicker I seem to have a bigger quantity than when it was first mixed Edited July 15 by Min Title edit by Min Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 Good question! Ingredients that absorb water (and hence swell up) could cause the glaze slurry to thicken. However, my guess, the overall volume would stay about the same... Post the recipes? Typically, I'll mix the glaze, sieve it, adjust specific gravity (per my recipe notes), then check thixotropy the next day and adjust as necessary.

Babs Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 (edited) Well vague thought re suspensions and solutions re change of volumr. Start with a volume of water add stuff, change in volume in bucket. Bentonite will swell when h2o introduced. What is your recipe? The thickneds change what @Hulk says. Edited July 15 by Babs Errors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
