    Don’t you need to strain the powdered glaze through a mesh? Or is resting overnight a substitute?

    This is a great question! Resting overnight is not a substitute. If you need to sieve your glaze, there's no way around that. However, in my experience 99% of store-bought glazes do not need to be sieved. I've only had to do it once, because of a manufacturing error. If you are mixing your own glazes from raw materials, you should definitely sieve your glaze. But prepared glazes should have already been sieved by the manufacturer. I wouldn't sieve unless it says to do so on the packaging, or if you are finding little unwanted chunks in it. But this might vary by country and always follow the advice of your glaze supplier :)

    Hi! Thank you for your video! This may be a silly question but, how do you use the powder glaze that you make in the 2L bucket if it's not big enough to dip your pots in but can't be used for painting? Would you just do a few tiny tests and if you like it make a bigger batch in a bigger bucket right away? Thank you

    Hi Mia!Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I am learning a lot with your videos :) I started my ceramic studio at home and I tried glazing my pottery for first time. The result wasn't as expected as the white glazing didn't come out as white as it supposed to be. I think I got it wrong with the Pehatine ratio mixing. I wanted to use the same glaze powder preparation for dipping and brushing on. However I see in your video that you don't add any pehatine. I have a couple of questions: 1) Should I start a "new fresh glazing powder" mixing batch? or would be possible to fix the one I did with the pehatine? And 2nd question: Would be possible to glaze these pots again? Thanks a lot! :)

    Danke für das Video! Ich warte gerade auf meine erste Lieferung von Pulverglasuren. Habe bisher immer nur Flüssigglasuren verwendet. In einem anderen Video über Pulverglasuren wurde ein Sieb verwendet. Also nach dem Mischen nochmal durch den Sieb gießen. Das machst du anscheinend nicht. Muss man das nicht machen?

    Das ist eine gute Frage! Einige Pulverglasuren müssen tatsächlich gesiebt werden. Meiner Erfahrung nach steht das normalerweise auf der Verpackung, und 95 % der Glasuren müssen nicht gesiebt werden. Ich siebe meine nie, solange es keine Probleme mit den Ergebnissen gibt. Es ist immer wichtig, zu testen! Auch bei gekauften Glasuren ☺️
