shonnie Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 My L&L kiln didn't start when I hit Start after choosing the program, so I hit it again. Maybe this caused it to refire like the previous firing? Anyway I have a kiln load of lovely unglazed bisquware fired to 2160* Will glaze adhere now?

Mark C. Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 No it will not.You will need to heat the pieces before glazes so they are warm and they will NEVER absorb glaze well. Meaning they never will work well. Last time I did this I threw the kiln load in trash and made another kiln load. Its a learning curve with ceramics and all the detail matter. Sorry to hear about this mistake. Welcome to the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Bummer. We've all done that at some point. It won't be worth the effort to try and get glaze to stick to them. Toss them and start over. In the future, always hit the 'Review Program' button after the relays start clicking, to make sure it's doing the firing you want it to do.

shonnie Posted April 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Thanks guys. And thanks for the tip about review program. I wondered if there was a way to double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Put some witness cones in as well and look at them near shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shonnie Posted May 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 If anyone else has this surprise of overfiring bisqueware, here's possible salvage options; #1 PZ white glaze went on almost normal. I sponged all the extra water off the top of the glaze to re-add later, so the glaze was quite thick. #2 I heated the ware to 250* in my oven before applying glaze My Osiris colored glaze also had a low clay content and it went on pretty well too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 let us know how it turns out-I already know but lets get your thoughts afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shonnie Posted May 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 I Have re-fired about 10 pieces from this load. I decided to take advantage of the popular style being naturals and whites. I'm very happy with how well some of these pieces turned out. I can't get the pics to load. It pops up a warning that size must be under 1000 kb ?
