Measuring Specific Gravity of Glazes

Here is another way to measure glaze thickness in the bucket if you don't have a graduated cylinder. (I learned this from Mike Tkach at Homer Laughlin China Company up on the Ohio river. )

You just take a empty water/pop bottle and zero the scale and then fill it so it forms a meniscus and then weight it. That way you always have it "full" and don't have to guess on the line of the graduated cylinder.

Then mark the number and whenever you have to check it you can,
