Recently I've been finding myself juggling a few different white glazes at a time while glazing up kiln a load of work. A few nights ago, I noticed that my small bucket of Eggshell White that I was testing was ominously empty. ????? Last time I had used it I had poured it into a narrow container to make it volumetrically easier to dip my test yunomi into, but unfortunately I must have poured it into... aaaaaaah, which bucket?
Oh Darn it!
You know... This wouldn't be a problem if I kept 15 gallon pails of my favorite glazes mixed up and on hand like a real potter.

15 gallon buckets? Nuts, I'm still working with pints. Gonna be years before I'm a real potter I guess!
Nice fix. I used to mix up 20 gallon trash cans of glaze when I had my reduction kiln. I only had 3 glazes. The great thing was I weighted everything out in pounds. 100 lbs worked great in the 20 gallon can. So if it was a 100 gram recipe I just made 100 lbs. I'm back to the 5 gallon buckets these days though.
heheheh nice one!!
