Jo O. Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Good evening, I have several pieces I need to bisque but don't have enough to fill a kiln. Could i put previously bisqued pieces in that have un fired cone 6 glaze on them to fill the kiln? Complete an 06 bisque fire, then fire everything a second time to cone 6 glaze? I have an electric kiln. Thank you for any advice, Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Don't worry about firing it half empty. It happens. Just distribute what you have evenly throughout the kiln and fire it up. No filler needed. Plus some cone 6 glazes can start melting at low fire temps, and they may not like being fired partway up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeU Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I've been in that situation..better to fire a partial load than do the low fire with the mid fire glazes. For the future-get someone to give you a few kiln bricks or extra posts or broken shelf to use as "filler". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Franks Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 I actually prefer to fire in a kiln less densely loaded. Just make sure you load efficiently, placing pots evenly apart, and know that the firing may complete and cool faster. Good luck, Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
