Going to screen a glaze? Use the brush, not the spatula
Monday 19th January 2015
Do you need to rescreen a glaze slurry. Using a brush like this you will be able to get it through the screen much faster. This is because the rubber edge forces particles into the screen openings, plugging them. The brush is gentler, the oversize material just rolls around on top. If you are screening a glaze for the first time, however, the spatula is better if there are agglomerated particles that need to be broken up (e.g. wollastonite, insight-live.com/material/240">cornwall stone). When rescreening, any oversize particles (e.g. precipitates) should be discarded.
