Tristan TDH Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I have a commercial glaze, a coyote Shino, The glaze is about five years old, I bought it dry, its been mixed up in a bucket for about five years. The bucket was apparently faily airtight, it didn't dry out much at all. I've used it every now and then but not a lot, this time when I went to use it, it won't adhere to the bisque. I tried on several different pieces, I tried wiping them with a damp sponge first, it still will not adhere. I am thinking that maybe some organic element of the glaze has broken down in time. Does anyone have any ideas what I could do to make this glaze work again, it's a lovely glaze and I still have almost 3 gallons of it I don't want to throw it out if possible.

Chilly Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I had this with an old (very old) commercial glaze. The manufacturer sent me some stuff to mix in and it worked. "Stuff" was called binder on the pot, but when I asked they said it was: "a solution of Sodium Carboxyl Methyl Cellulose(CMC) with an addition of a Biocide to prevent it from decaying" there were two recent threads on flaking glazes,with lots of useful info: http://community.cer...off/?hl=flaking http://community.cer...king#entry68822 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
