Dear donna,

Do you think an electric mixer set at very low speed (folding or
breadmaking) would work?


Yes!


I thought I was being very clever and put my bentonite in water before
adding it to the glaze. I'm now de-lumping it by putting batches in my
blender (we are not going to tell spouse and kids this). It makes are
really wonderful goo!


A Blender is my most treasured pottery implement; I now never sieve
small glaze or slip batches when I use it.
What's better is I've now got one with a removable and/or replaceable
blade unit; I've trashed one already and I have 2 spare sets waiting in
the wings!!!!
