How do I test my glazes?

Mixing glaze tests: Knowing your level

Many people use old blenders or stick blenders for mixing test batches. They mark off with a magic marker where enough water for a 100g test comes, so they can just put in the water and add ingredients as they are weighed out. (Tip: Use a piece of masking tape until you are sure enough to draw your line with a magic marker.) Another reason to mark where a 100g or a 200g batch of wet glaze comes, is so you can can add that much base glaze before adding colorants or other ingredients.
