I mixed a batch of glaze today with old (25 +years) zinc. I took the
lumps that didn't pass through the seive and put them in the blender for
about 5 minutes or less.(thank you clayart)
Then I pased it through the seive. I did this twice after workikng the
glaze back and forth between two buckets. That was a real easy way to
remove the lumps. I started using the blender a few months ago for glaze
tests after someone on clayart suggested it. Now I use it for "those
hard to get out" lumps. Worked great.
