<p>Thanks Norm. I will check my notes to see if I added bentonite to the glaze when I mixed it. I typically add that automatically. If my notes show I already added 2% bentonite, would it help to add the VeeGum to the already mixed glaze? If so, how much would you suggest? Thanks.</p>

<p>Light Stormy Blue is one of the colorant variations of the Zinc Semi-matte from Mastering Cone 6 Glazes.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This glaze has only 10% Kaolin and no other clay ingredients which is really the minimum needed to suspend the ingredients and hold the glaze together when it's dry. Another glaze with this problem is Weathered Bronze Green.</p>
<p></p>
<p>A small amount of bentonite, such as 0.5% VeeGum or even less Bentone-EW, sold by Trinity Ceramics, should resolve this problem.</p>
