      thought you were tempting fate when you were writing about the no. of firings:)

  2. we still have highs in the 90s here and high humidity. I need to get firing lots of loads but slow drying and really hot. I have to wrap burnished pieces to avoid sweat from touching them.

      What do you wrap them with and are you protecting them from your sweat or theirs. Denice

      no. I am still figuring out the straight mix.

      Wish we had a LITTLE of your Summer. Temps here in PA have caused pool attendance to be way down. Average next week looks like high of 75.

  17. Threw some big sag gars yesterday with some very old raku clay.

  18. doing as much prep for firing as I can inside. Very hot outside. I

  19. with the next week with temperature 100 everyday, I may wait to fire.

  20. OK. There are some who have good reasons to stay private. I can understand that on a public forum. But could others be polite and respond when your info is answered.

    1. Benzine

      Are you referring to people, who ask a question, receive several answers and then are never heard from again?

  21. OK. There are members with good reasons to stay

  22. I wish more people here posted an avatar of at least some image rather than ghost heads. Bizarre names and no info in their "about me" diminishes the community spirit of the forum. Couldn't someone say I am interested in this or that.

      I think it's more of a case of,not knowing how to do it.

    3. Marcia Selsor

      Marcia Selsor

      I don't know about that. And the bizarre names are very weird.

      I had a avatar but it was lost when they changed the forum a while back. To busy to mess with it again. Denice
