I don't know about kitty litter being bentonite (and I would certainly not
use litter that has odor control added). You should be able to get the
bentonite from the same company you get your glaze from. It is very
inexpensive and you are not going to need a lot. You may only need to add
1-2% of it to the glaze (if your glaze weighs 100gms use 1-2 grams of
bentonite). You add it to the water and you let it dissolve before you add
the other ingredients. If you decide to use kitty litter, you should not
have to crush it up but you do need to let it dissolve in the water before
adding your other ingredients. You don't want too much or you will change
what your glaze looks like. I would certainly run a test on this before
doing a entire batch of glaze. Donna

I know assume makes an ass of you and me but I just assumed this person
was using premixed glazes from the way they stated it. I think adding the
bentonite in that case would be rather difficult to add (especially if it
is small jars of glaze)..

I buy a glaze as a powder then I mix it with water. I've made a small try
with glue (one bead) and glaze looks better. A day after tomorrow I'm
openning a kiln so I'll watch a final effect.
I was thinking about this bentonite but I don't know where I can get it
(I've read that grit for cats is a bentonite -it is true?). I assume that
I should crash it and add to powder glaze before I mix it with water??

Thanks for your response!
