If you have some heavier glaze materials they can tend to settle
quickly, and if not thoroughly restirred could remain as a layer in the
bottom, but this is not typical.
I re-sieve my glazes whenever I transfer glazes from the bucket to a
wider basin (for dipping large platters, bowls, etc.) Then I sieve
again as I pour the remnants back in the bucket. I do this to remove
glaze lumps and foreign matter. Sieving certainly restores the glaze to
its original mixed state. You may try adding a deflocculant like epsom
salts to keep the glaze from clumping. Occasionally I've noticed a
change in glaze outcome when I've forgotten to add the epsom salts
solution. For the right quantity of epsom salts to add, visit my
