Hi Lee,
I don't think I have ever heard of "wet measure mixing". Would you please
describe it?
Best,

In wet measure mixing you typically mix each individual ingredient into a
slurry and adjust each to have the same specific gravity. Then you can mix
up your glaze batch using volumetric measurements.

Thanks Ben, and Lee,
I had never even heard of this before and it makes so much sense. When
I was working at high fire I used only a few ingredients and measured
volumetrically. This fits right into that paradigm.
