jpmasello Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 In a nutshell- which do you prefer and have had better results with? Personally I've had the best luck with burnishing leatherhard pieces on the wheel, the shine is very consistent and even. However I know there are some die-hard terra sig fans but I was disappointed with my sig even though it fell between the recommended consistency.

Marcia Selsor Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I prefer terra sig and burnish it with a soft cloth. I don't understand your comment about " it fell through the recommended consistency." Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Campbell Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Well, one problem is you can only burnish round things on a wheel. Terra sig gives a fabulous satiny finish to any shape. I use terra sig and burnish with a grocery store plastic bag. Whose recipe for terra sig did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc McMillan Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I just did my first batch of horse hair pots with Terra Sig and am a convert. I like the continuity of surface. With burnishing I would occasionally find a break in the burnished area (of course due to me missing it), but with Terra Sig I found it to be completely smooth and a beautiful white.

I had 14lbs of OM4 ball clay, 3 gallons of water, and 3 teaspoons of sodium silicate (soda ash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
