In dry form the buckets contain 7 1\/2 lb, 25 lb. and 40 lb. of dry glaze, respectively. The main difference between the NOVA series and our 1100 series Stoneware Glazes is that the NOVA series glazes are all set up for dipping rather than brushing. This means they have almost no gum in them and will dry much faster than brushing glazes. They are also formulated mainly from raw materials, such as kaolin, feldspar, wollastonite, oxides, etc. rather than the frits and ceramic stains that we use in the 1100 series. There are two significant benefits from using raw materials. First, they are less expensive which leads to more economical pricing. Second, raw materials are less dense than frits and stains which makes them easier to suspend in water. The NOVA glazes are much more tolerant to being mixed with excessive water and will very rarely settle out in the way that the 1100 series does. However, it is still important to follow the mixing instructions that come with the dry glaze in order to have the glaze set up correctly for dipping.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRemove the lid and add water to the powdered glaze. For a 7.5 lb. pail add 4 pints (0.5 gallons), for a 25 lb. pail add 14 pints (1.75 gallons) and for a 40 lb. pail add 22 pints (2.75 gallons) of water to the pail. Close the lid firmly and shake vigorously until all the powder has been wetted. Remove the lid. Then, using a proper mechanical mixer such as a jiffy mixer or a drill with a mixing attachment, thoroughly mix the glaze. Add up to a pint more of water, as you are mixing, to achieve your desired viscosity. After mixing strain glaze through an 80 mesh sieve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNOVA dipping glazes can be thinned with water.

They are formulated to produce reactions during the firing cycle which give beautiful effects, particularly when applied in a thin layer underneath one of the Regular Reactive Glazes listed below. Please be aware that these glazes are more fluid and may run particularly when glazes are applied thickly. Be more careful when using them on vertical surfaces.

The final appearance of the glaze is dependent on firing temperature, glaze thickness and the composition of the clay body being used.
