DiamondCore Tools' Glaze Fountain Classic is the product every ceramicist needs to quickly and evenly cover the insides of bisqueware with a full coat of glaze.
No more pouring glaze into a cup, swirling it around, holding it over a bucket while the glaze drips out. Now, just a simple press of the foot pedal creates a pressurized, controlled fountain of glaze, making the job easier and faster.
Excess glaze simply flows down the fountain pipe back into the bucket, ready to go for the next piece! The Glaze Fountain Classic can be used again and again — just rinse off and cycle water through the pump reservoir.
