Help, Should Have Worn My Glasses...


Recommended Posts

The 06 glazes might run. Or they might not. It might be beautiful. Or it might be ugly. You won't know until you fire it. But be prepared for it to run so take appropriate precautions to fire the piece on a sacrificial cookie to contain any glaze drips.

If it would help you feel more confident about this, consider that Fong Choo (google him if you haven't heard of him) uses combinations of low-fire and mid-fire glazes to create the spectacular color flows on his work. But he tests each combination to see what will happen before committing to it.

post a picture of what you have after the 06 firing. We could probably give a better idea if we could see it. Dick is right. be prepared for the 06 glaze to run. depending on how much glaze you used and the type of glaze, you could need a bowl to catch the combination. The 06 glaze will still be there when you fire to 6. All its chemicals that mature at 06 are still present and melting at the much higher temperature.

As said above, some ^06 will be just fin at ^6 and some won't.

 

Some of the commercial glaze manufacturers actually produce a list of what happens to their ^06 glazes when fired to ^6.   Some are stable, some change colour, some run.

 

Test, Test, Test !
