Hi. Today we’re going to glaze some pots, and I’m going to take you through our process.
I’m just going to remove this lid, and what we find is we have big chunks of glaze, so this is just gelling, and it’s quite normal.
What we want to do is mix all this back into the water.
So, we will need to use a paint stirrer, and for around 2 minutes high speed mix this all in, when its homogenised its ready to start using the glaze.
I’m also going to use this Zahn cup to record the viscosity, I will keep track of that over time to see how glaze performs and adjust thickness to where glaze performs at its best.
To do this I will start the clock once I come up and the cup starts to run then stop the clock when it has finished, the measurement I recorded is 5.8 seconds.
We can take our first pot and dip that in also we’re going to pull that latex off, and we’re going to put another colour inside.
We just start the latex with a needle tool, and then we’ll pull It off a rim first, then remove all the latex from inside vessel, followed by a bit of a clean-up.
Okay, so that’s all clean in there, and we’ve cleaned up the bottom.
So next in part 2 of this video, we’ll paint latex over the top of this glazed pot, and then we’ll apply a pink inside glaze plus more.
Happy Potting to you! 😀
