oldlady Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 paul, it gets even funnier. yesterday was glaze day. for bowls, those round things that have a hollow in the center. i spray glaze. outside because i have no spray booth. normally flat things get sprayed with no problems. i have not had a respirator for years, there is one of the heavy, clumsy awful ones somewhere on the back of a shelf. so i got one of the kind Joseph showed us in his avatar. that is the one that was hanging in the corner. yesterday was glaze day for the bowls and, knowing that the blowback would be extreme, i got down the respirator, put it on over my glasses, put a wide brim hat over that and went out to spray. found that it was easy to breathe and started in. the floor fan, 16 inch size, was working well, blowing away the excess glaze. except that the wind was also blowing. so, after i realized that the glaze in my eyes and on my glasses was making it hard to see, i went into the bathroom and washed my glasses. that was when i realized that the respirator was lacking the big, pink hepa filters that were still in the bag.

Babs Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Now old lady ,if you had set yourself up to work with teh wind instead of against it you would have needed neither fan or face mask... So before setting up next time, lick your finger hold it up and set up BUT the rule here is that the wind will change IMMEDIATELY you start your spray gun!

rakukuku Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I swear there really is a 5th dimension that objects go into for awhile and then return. I can have a tool in my hand, set it down for a few minutes, and it disappears. I know some roll off the back of my desk which is an old metal government issue one and weighs a ton so I can't even slide it. Once I made a bunch of small eggs and they never appeared on the bisque shelf. We have about 40 members at our studio. Then a few weeks later they appeared on the shelf in a little plastic bag. Obviously went home in someone else's piece. I have just too much junk in my studio but no where else to keep it. House is just as bad. WE are a family of packrats.
