Wadding Use In Electric Kiln At Cone 6
Zygote replied to Panamax's topic in Studio Operations and Making Work
I completely see the point in your question. It's a smart craftsman should always have several answers to common problems. I haunt different potters kilns as often as I can and it's forced me to get into the habit of using wadding in all cases, even in my own cone 6 electric. No problem. By mixing up a small batch and keeping it wrapped up and in tupperware is keeps just fine for months. As far as cost goes, it's cheap, less than 3 bucks a batch and it will save hundreds of dollars worth of work from becoming worthless. Well worth the effort and cost.

Kiln Vents Kits, Necessary Or Not
Zygote replied to AndyL's topic in Studio Operations and Making Work
Kiln vents, (aside from removing lots of nasty stuff from your kiln room,) are particularly useful for creating that oxidation atmosphere that is your electric kiln's strength. We always play to the strengths of our kiln. For the cash... a kiln vent is totally worth the money. -
