How much Mason Stain to add to my glaze? Testing different percentages

[@suzieduchesneau8271]

Thank you for sharing your tests with us🤩 # 4 is the best and I think dipping the piece only once in the #4 mason stain, would give a more uniform glaze result ☺️

Thanks for sharing!!

Somehow I missed this, but my brain knew to expect it. Weird! Thanks for the followup! I don't care as much for the line that double dipping left, but I like the 4% the best.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree. I think next time I'll make sure the inside liner glaze doesn't reach to the outside.

Thank you for this! I want to try this with a snowflake crackle recipe to try and get a faux celadon.

Sounds great!

Great video, very imformative! Would love to see this experiment using a satin matte base glaze!

[@PotterybyKent]

Thanks! I've been having some issues with my matte glaze that I haven't figured out yet. But once I do I will perform similar tests I'm sure. So stay tuned!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Good morning...thank you for your video.. they are amazing...may I ask you the ricepe of low fire ∆04 base glaze (transparent...and Matt...and satin) please?

[@PotterybyKent]

Thanks! I fire to cone 6. I don't have any low fire glaze recipes. Perhaps go searching on glazy.org. There's a lot there!

I'm so glad!

Okay so the main thing I was looking for was the “math that I won’t bore you with” haha! I’m struggling to find the weight of the raw vs liquid. Is it just specific gravity?

[@PotterybyKent]

You just need to rearrange the equation for water, dry ingredients and final weight. So if Dry is 1 (D), water is 90% of that (.9*D) then total is 1.9. D + 0.9*D = 1.9D. Change the 0.9 based on your water ratio. I had 1543g total. So 1543/1.9 = 812g of dry ingredients. This isn't exact but is close. Then you can add x% of colorant based on the 812g. So 1% is 8g.
