LeeU Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 I am embarking on a great experiment, and am willing---like I have a choice LOL---to take the results as they come. I am curious, though, if I can get some experienced feedback ahead of time on what I might likely run into. Please don't judge my folly, tho, I am doing this intentionally (live & learn)! For this, I am not interested in doing separate firings-I want the mixed load. So...in a programmable short/wide L&L, I will be loading a combination of green cone 6 unglazed, green 6 with underglazes, green with cone 6 glazes, already fully fired cone 6 with glazes, with new glazes over them, some bisque with cone 6 glaze, and thickness of pieces varying from 1/8th inch to 1.5 inches (as dried as can be). It will contain porcelain and stoneware. Any hints on placement and possible (ha) "defects" to expect? Thanks in advance for not laughing, pitying, dismissing, or yelling at me.

Mark C. Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 My thoughts as this is out of my wheelhouse (electric glaze firing in midrange) is you will learn much from pushing the limits Go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babs Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Yeh go for it treat it like a bisque till after soak at 700/800dC then fire as normal glaze to C6 How do you go about glazing ware bisqued to C 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Min Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'ld put the pieces that have been fired to cone 6 and reglazed onto thin scrap clay wafers just in case the glaze runs off the bottom. Also if you have a cooler part of the kiln I would put those ones there. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 min said what i would have. those first ones, will they be glaze fired from green? if so, just fire slowly and use preheat. that slow climb to a 10 minute soak helps a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Give it a 4 hour preheat, then fire on slow bisque. Try to keep the glazed pieces and raw pieces on separate shelves, glaze on top. That way if something blows up it's less likely to get into your glaze work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
