This method is helpful if the glaze has been sitting for an extended period of time or if you are concerned the glaze has become too thick or thin. Specific gravity is found by the weight of mixed water and glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOPTION ONE: Weigh 100 cc of mixed glaze on a gram scale. (Be sure and tare out the weight of the container.) Refer to the suggested specific gravity of your glaze. If 100 cc of mixed glaze weighs more than the upper number of grams, then there is too much glaze in the mix (i.e. the glaze is too thick and additional water is needed). If it weighs less than the lower number of grams, there is too much water (i.e. the glaze is too thin and after the glaze has settled, some water needs to be cast off).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOPTION TWO: If you do not have a gram scale you can use any other type of scale. This method is not as accurate but will give you a general idea of the specific gravity. Weigh a small container of water and note the weight. Weigh mixed glaze in the same container and it should weigh 1.5 times the amount of water. If it weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of the water, then there si too much glaze in the mix (i.e. the glaze is too thick and additional water is needed). If it weighs less, there is too much water (i.e. the glaze is too thin and after the glaze has settled, some water needs to be cast off).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOPTION THREE: If you know the glaze is the perfect ratio for your use, weigh a small container full of the mixed glaze and not the weight. Use this container and measurement as a comparison for any time you are concerned about the glaze ratio or when mixing a new batch. If it weighs more than your predetermined weight, then there is too much glaze in the mix (i.e. the glaze is too thick and additional water is needed). If it weighs less, there is too much water (i.e. the glaze is too thin and after the glaze has settled, some water needs to be cast off).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConversion Information\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 lbs. of glaze- 4.5 lbs. of water can be converted into liquid measurement into any of these quantities: 72 ounces, 9 cups, or 4.5 pints\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25 lbs. of glaze- 22.5 lbs. of water can be converted into liquid measurement into any of these quantities: 360 ounces, 45 cups, 22.5 pints, or 2.8 gallons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlazing Tips for DIPPING Opulence Glazes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMake sure pot is bisque-fired, clean of sand, dust or oils by cleaning your pot with a damp sponge.\u003cbr\u003eWax the bottom of the piece and about ¼ of an inch on the side.\u003cbr\u003eWax must be dry.\u003cbr\u003eMix glaze well, stirring from the bottom up.\u003cbr\u003eDip your pot in for no more than 3 seconds (1- in, 2- submerge, 3- out)\u003cbr\u003eWait for that coating of glaze to dry and if combination is being used, dip the second coat again (1- in, 2- submerge, 3- out)\u003cbr\u003eNo more than one layer of glaze at the bottom of the pot.\u003cbr\u003eNo more than two layers of glaze on the middle, top, and rim.\u003cbr\u003eStay away from double dipping\/layering two Opulence 600 glazes, they run!\u003cbr\u003eTest tiles are encouraged to show movement and flow of glaze combinations. We recommend adding texture on the tile and an indention at the bottom. Do not glaze past this indention. If the glaze combination flows below the indention at the bottom of the test tile- that combination cannot go any lower than the shoulder of the pot.\u003cbr\u003eAfter the glaze is dry, sponge off any remaining glaze off the bottom of your pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Midsouth Opulence Glazes","offers":[{"title":"803 Winter Day \/ Pint","offer_id":47594426761538,"sku":"MO803","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"808 London Fog \/ Pint","offer_id":47594426827074,"sku":"MO808","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"808 London Fog \/ 5 Lbs Dry","offer_id":47594426794306,"sku":"MO808LB5","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"810 Sandstone \/ Pint","offer_id":47594426859842,"sku":"MO810","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"815 Bamboo \/ Pint","offer_id":47594426925378,"sku":"MO815P","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"815 Bamboo \/ 5 Lbs Dry","offer_id":47594426892610,"sku":"MO815LB5","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"836 Wildflower \/ Pint","offer_id":47594426990914,"sku":"MO836P","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"836 Wildflower \/ 5 Lbs Dry","offer_id":47594426958146,"sku":"MO836LB5","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"840 French Blue \/ Pint","offer_id":47803926872386,"sku":"MO840P","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"840 French Blue \/ 5 Lbs Dry","offer_id":47803926905154,"sku":"MO840LB5","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"845 Overcast \/ Pint","offer_id":47594427089218,"sku":"MO845","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"845 Overcast \/ 5 Lbs Dry","offer_id":47594427056450,"sku":"MO845LB5","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"851 Pine Forest \/ Pint","offer_id":47594427154754,"sku":"MO851P","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"851 Pine Forest \/ 5 Lbs Dry","offer_id":47594427121986,"sku":"MO851LB5","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"852 Meadow \/ Pint","offer_id":47803926937922,"sku":"MO852P","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"852 Meadow \/ 5 Lbs Dry","offer_id":47803926970690,"sku":"MO852LB5","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"856 Everglade \/ Pint","offer_id":47803927003458,"sku":"MO856P","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"856 Everglade \/ 5 Lbs Dry","offer_id":47803927036226,"sku":"MO856LB5","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"865 Petrified Wood \/ Pint","offer_id":47594427285826,"sku":"MO865P","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"865 Petrified Wood \/ 5 Lbs Dry","offer_id":47594427253058,"sku":"MO865LB5","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"869 Bark \/ Pint","offer_id":47594427351362,"sku":"MO869P","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"869 Bark \/ 5 Lbs Dry","offer_id":47594427318594,"sku":"MO869LB5","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"890 Chicory \/ Pint","offer_id":47594427416898,"sku":"MO890P","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"890 Chicory \/ 5 Lbs Dry","offer_id":47594427384130,"sku":"MO890LB5","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/5508\/2050\/files\/white-b30b46f02855df872023bc944fc282de.jpg?v=1704744515","url":"https:\/\/www.sheffield-pottery.live\/products\/opulence-glaze-cone-6-envirocolors-glazes-800-series","provider":"Sheffield Pottery Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
