Aodenkou Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hi, I took a chance on re-firing a mug that turned out with results I was not pleased with. The mug on the left is what a set of mugs looked like for me with a couple of new glazes I am trying. I ha a splash of a "Catsup Red" I ha brushed on that looked really nice. So, as I was pulling mugs out of the firing I grabbed the glaze and a brush and panted a layer around the mug. I was surprised how the glaze stuck to the warm mug and dried almost on contact. So I had another firing and the mug on the left is the result. Both mugs looked very similar, and now I am very pleased with the result. So, I just have added the re-glazed mugs and they are now being re-fired and I hope they come out as nice as the one that I have already fired. There are two take always for me: 1) I can re-fire a piece if I don't like it. 2) glaze will stick on a pot that is about 180 degrees F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 it doesn't even have to be that hot. i have heated things in the sun and applied glaze to the piece while it is warm. there are no pictures though you clearly intended to post some.

Aodenkou Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yes indeed I did intend to submit a photo, it seems it was too large and I had to re-size the photo. The mugs I re-fired did come out much nicer than the original firing and I was quite pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Recently I had 2 large platters crack with large c-crack through and through in the second glaze firing. Not sure why. Refiring platters, or any large flat shape, need to go slow through quartz inversion temp. I slow right down to 100F / hr from 950 until 1150 then resume regular firing schedule. If the crack has sharp edges it cracked on the way down, smooth edges it cracked on the way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
