The 30 cm Sieve / Glaze Strainer is an important tool in ceramic laboratories and for preparing glazes/slips. This compact size is designed for agile use, with the following main functions:
-
Glaze & Slip Strainer: Used for straining glazes or colored slips (engobe/slip) to remove impurities, dust, or undissolved clumps of clay/chemicals, helping to achieve a smooth, uniform consistency in the glaze.
-
Prevents Defects on Workpieces: Straining glazes before dipping, brushing, or spraying helps reduce problems such as grainy glaze surfaces, pinholes, or uneven color after firing.
-
Ideal Size for Laboratory Work: With a diameter of 10 cm, it is perfectly suited for straining small quantities of glaze, such as for glazing small pieces, decorative painting, or mixing experimental glaze batches in small cups or beakers, without excessive glaze loss in the sieve.
Brief Instructions: Place the sieve over a receiving container. Pour the glaze through the sieve. If the glaze is viscous, a soft brush or rubber spatula can be used to gently spread it, facilitating easier flow through the sieve.
