AlwaysAllison Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 GOOD KILN MFG INC Will my fired pieces be okay, strength wise, if all of my elements aren't reaching full temp? (The kiln shuts off and the 06 cone fires perfectly.) I want to run at least one more load before I rip out and replace the erroneous elements. Thank you, -NewElementsOnTheWay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 How hot are you trying to get? Glaze or bisque? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilestrick Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Bisque firing to cone 06 instead of 04 will leave the pots slightly more porous, so if you're dipping to apply glaze, you won't need to dip as long. Other than that it shouldn't cause any problems unless you're using a dark stoneware where all the organic stuff isn't getting burned out completely by 06.

AlwaysAllison Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Thank you Neilestrick I meant to say 04! I’m so flustered. I already know my glaze loads don’t turn out when the kiln doesn’t fire hot enough. Just making sure it doesn’t really matter for stoneware because I have a couple loads I would like to run. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
