tricetra Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Hi All, I have just realised that I have fired my glaze ware on my bisque setting. Not sure what to do now so after some advice. 1) Do I leave to cool and see what results I have. 2) Do I set off the kiln again now but on my glaze program or 3) Do I still need to wait for it all to cool then re-start the kiln on my glaze program. SO annoyed with my self as I have commissioned pieces in so hope this wont make too much of a difference. Thank you in advance. Shel. xxx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 you don't mention the temperature. I would do number 2. Shut it off. don't waste the time or electricity. Start the Glaze cycle.If you are firing to that same cone as in low fire you could keep going with where you are. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricetra Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Thanks Marcia, I fire at cone 6, and it had finished its bisque cycle this morning. The only difference with the 2 programs is bisque is longer with 2 ramps and no soak and the glaze is shorter and has a soak at the end of half hour. It should be ok but the colours may have fired a little different than expected but I wont know until Friday which will be when I can open kiln. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 If you only fired to bisque temps, it will be fine. Just start it again on the glaze program. If you fired all the way up to glaze temps, it will probably be fine- wait for it to cool and check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricetra Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Thank you Neil, Yes my glaze firing goes up to the same temp as my bisque it just soaks for half hour at that temp. Hoping my reds wont be too muddy but is a learning curve none the less. Working late and not checking through the program was a school girl error. lol.

Marcia Selsor Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Iron reds in electric are touchy to the thickness and use 2 soaking temps. One soak at ^6 for 20 min. to 2 hours depending on your preferences and then again as it drops temps. at about 1900-1850. That really improves any muddiness that occurs especially if the thickness is off a little. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not normal to bisque fire to ^6 if you glaze fire to ^6. Have you always done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
