katzcamp Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hi, our mid fire bisque firing accidentally fired to cone 6. Needless to say the owner feels terrible. So we all want to know if there are any tips for glazing at this point or if it's futile. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! There's alot of sad people down there.

Chris Campbell Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 No need to panic ... This has happened often. The glazes will have a hard time sticking to the surfaces. One idea is to warm the pots in a low ... 200 degree F oven ... then glaze them. Glaze will adhere and everyone is happy. You can also add gums or CMC ... But warming them in an oven is quick and easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicAxe Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hair spray helps I've heard ... gives some temporary sticking ability for glazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pres Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 No oven, use a kiln! or even a heat gun. All you are looking for is a bit of heat to make the glaze liquid evaporate faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps the glaze to stick to already glazed surface. Maybe it would work for you on unglazed pots as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 If your glaze has high clay content , it will stick. To glaze over fired bisque, as everyone has mentioned, heat the pot. Heat guns work well. If the glaze is thin, heat again and dip. Keep adding until you get the enough on the pot. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
