Hello Potters,
My (IMCO ^6 Red Velvet Classic) clay plucks. Sometimes I put them on biscuits. This time I thought I'd put them on top of a little pile of alumina. The alumina has left a yucky looking discoloration. I have tried to cold work it off to no avail so far. Has anybody had this experience and do you have a fix?
FYI: It's a beautiful dark brown clay body that is a fluxed up version of the regular Red Velvet clay body to make it less absorbent.
Also, I hate kiln wash. My glazes don't run. If I'm testing a new glaze, I put them on top of a biscuit. Would kiln wash keep my pots from plucking?
