docweathers Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 The part of my studio where my spray booth is located is about 40F. Are there any special procedures or cautions I should observe in this situation. I don't want to make a mess of some pretty nice pots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callie Beller Diesel Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I suggest some fingerless gloves, and properly layered clothes for mobility. Don't leave glaze out to freeze. It'll hardpan like nothing else I've ever seen, and reclaiming it blows. Will it warm up a few degrees in a day or two, or do you need to do this now?

docweathers Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I am used to such temperatures. I will do fine. I was concerned that the glaze would not dry fast enough and cause runs or worse. Maybe my spray gun will turn into a snow making machine . Unfortunately, the temperature is forecast to continue to get colder for at least the next week. Maybe I should just enjoy the beautiful snow covered view from my office and punt on pottery for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I had the thought that you could warm the pot first a bit before spraying, and move them to somewhere warmer quickly after spraying, maybe? Snow makers on ski hills aren't that effective around the freezing mark: it has to be slightly below that point before the vapour freezes as soon as it hits the air.

docweathers Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 heating the pots would be a good idea. I only have to step outside to get the 20F temperatures necessary to turn my spray gun into a snow machine. It might be fun to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewV Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 As long as everything stays above freezing, there shouldn't be problems for the pottery. Cold air is very dry. I would be more concerned about the wetness on a hot muggy day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
