My workbench (all of them looked like this yesterday-today the kilns are glaze firing). Today benches are empty
One and half handed glazing takes time
My new temporay cast can take a xxxl rubber glove over it now.
Going to rain some it feels like.

Here's what I've been up to in my free time. Been making LED lamps. Here's a few of the prototype designs. In greenware with crackle slip.

akilspots reacted to Pat B. in Pieces warping/getting stuck to bats
I use newspaper. It's thinner than printer paper but still keeps the shape, is cheap, and is flexible when wet so is very easy to peel off. Do it while the pot is still wet and the rim can stick to the newspaper.
Clear off any extra slip on the rim and then gently lay the paper on top. Make sure to get contact all the way around the rim by very gently running your finger along the rim (you'll see where it is sticking) . Move the pot off the wheel onto your ware board and then gently peel off the paper. You may have to smooth the rim a bit if it looks rough, but it will be perfectly round!

have you tried the trick where you lay a piece of paper on the rim of the pot then cut and lift it off the bat? the paper creates a seal that helps it not warp

To gentle on attaching.
Scoring should disappear on joining pieces together.
