TortoiseAvenger Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I read that as long as clay dries evenly, it can be dried fast. I made some glaze test tiles last night, and I'd like to glaze them tonight. Think I can put them in the oven to speed up their drying? Low heat? Maybe 200F?

neilestrick Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 So you're not going to bisque fire them first? Holding at 200 will dry them just fine. Moving air also speeds up drying, so sitting them outside in the sun and wind will dry them fairly quickly, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzine Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 As Neil said, moving air does wonders. A fan blowing across clay will dry it in a jiffy. In my classroom, during the winter, I put wares on the heated air vent, and they dry in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hertzfeld Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Adding a dehumidifier to my basement studio has dramatically reduced dry times. Important to turn and flip those big tiles too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
