Babs Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I have a glaze that requires a good soak to smooth out. I have always when blisters remain refire and soak at the cone that the glaze initially required. Would I have any success at refiring and soaking at a lower cone? I've always thought no but on thinking of heatwork done??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babs Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Well success! Not in firing to a lower temp!! Thanks TJR who suggested breaking the blisters and refiring at a slower rate towards the end, I ground the blisters whith a carboradum drill piece, applied glaze to thiose areas and refired, and soaked. Nice smooth pots. Question Why would a glaze be listed as cone 6 if it requires a long soak time, would firing it onto cone 7/8 relieve this need? Or maybe it is a cone 4/5 glaze and the blisters are overfiring..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
