Frequently Asked Questions
How do I scale a glaze recipe?
Multiply each ingredient by the scale factor (target batch / original batch). If the original recipe totals 1000g and you want 3000g, multiply each ingredient by 3.
How much glaze do I need per pot?
A standard mug needs about 80-120 sq in of glaze coverage. At typical dipping thickness, plan for about 400-600g of mixed (wet) glaze per mug, or about 200-300g dry weight for 2 coats.
What is the water ratio for mixing glaze?
Most glaze recipes call for 40-60% water by weight of dry ingredients. For example, 1000g of dry materials mixed with 400-600g of water. The consistency should be like heavy cream.
