Marknz Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hi everyone - What is the best way to clean the glaze off the feet of hundreds of cups before firing? I currently wax, then sponge but it’s getting a bit tedious! Any clever solutions? Trays of flowing water? thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Piece of wet carpet or stiff sponge in cat litter tray or smaller. Wax, glaze, swipe across wet carpet/ spongr in tray or rotate a bit on wet carpet in tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a power rotating powersponge to clean slip seams and glaze bottoms years ago. The maker has since died. The thing sits over a 5 gallon bucket and spins slowly . Its a 10 inch or so wide sponge that picks up clean water and flushes off the slip or glaze on sponge as it rotates. Its a simple tool that I use when doing say my wall fish and needs smooth glaze edge. I use it very little as a hand sponge is pretty fast.
