Welcome to Pottery Shorts, brought to you by The Potter’s Round Table, the topic for this episode is Making Use of Specific Gravity.
Specific gravity is especially useful in keeping glazes mixed to the preferred consistency. The question is what is the best practice for measuring the specific gravity with a glaze? In this episode Phil explains his process for measuring specific gravity of a glaze and the use of hydrometers.
