Handprintstudio Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 I apparently had a relay fail in my kiln and my bisque (eventually intended for a gallery!!) fired to cone 5. Any suggestions? Someone suggested spraying the work with a cheap hairspray and then applying glaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 that sucks, heat them up to 150-200 and try to get glaze to stick. Haven't heard about the hair spray routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilestrick Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Did the relay stick 'on'? What size kiln? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handprintstudio Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 The kiln is Skutt 1218. Whatever the relays did it went to 2162 degrees. I dipped one of the cups from that firing in the intended glaze and it appears to be adhering in the usual way. My local kiln guy replaced the relays and suggested I fire at medium speed with no soak. He wonders whether crazing might be an issue. (When it it not!)
