Chris Campbell Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 More info needed ... Is there glaze on one side? Is the slip top or bottom? What is the slip made from? How high are you going to fire it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtiesling Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 The pendant were 1st fired 04 bisque , the slip is 266 brown and the next firing will be cone 6. The slip is on all sides, the entire pendant. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Campbell Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 One more question ... 266 brown doesn't tell much ... What company? What do they call the product? If it's just clay and stain you should be ok ... How well is the slip adhering to the bisque? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtiesling Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 The slip was made by a friend from 266 standard clay and is adhering to the bisque well. She had used the slip on many of her pieces that turned out beautifully. Would it just be better to use the bead stand. I have many pendants to fire and did not want to use the space .

Callie Beller Diesel Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I use straight red art slip sometimes on cone 10. It gets shiny, but I've never had issues with it adhering to the kiln shelf. It might pluck a bit of kiln wash, but sandpaper takes care of that. It won't stick like a glaze would.

Chris Campbell Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I agree with Callie ... You should be fine with a clay slip. Send a pix when they get done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLowes Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Generally, slip is applied before bisque firing, as it will shrink during firing and possibly pop off, or crack, as it shrinks. The shrinkage for 266 to cone 6 is 13%. There are vitreous slips that can be applied and fired on bisque, but this doesn't sound like one of those if it's straight clay slip. If the slip is thin enough it may adhere and fire fine. I had an example that worked before I was told that the slip should have been applied before bisque. Best of luck with it, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
