Tips

1
Always verify your percentages sum to 100%. Even small errors compound in large batches.
2
A specific gravity of 1.4-1.5 is typical for dipping glaze consistency.

Open formula

Component (g) = Total Dry Weight × Component%
Water (g) = Total Dry × Water Ratio
SG ≈ (Dry + Water) / (Dry/2.65 + Water)

Converts percentage recipe to gram weights and calculates water addition for target specific gravity.
