spiffypix Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hi everyone - I usually fire at a community studio, but because of the quarantine, they are closed. I have a small tabletop Paragon Quik Fire 6 kiln. It only fires to 2000 degrees. I have ^6 clay. I want to fire the ^6 clay to ^04 for bisque. Can I then use a low-fire glaze to complete the project, firing again at ^04? I know it will not be vitrified, but I only make decorative pieces. I also want to make sure that I can use low-fire glaze on ^6 clay. Would that work, or am I missing something? Thanks for your help.https://www.theceramicshop.com/product/26796/paragon-quik-fire-6-kiln/?currency=USD&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1PTL4fKI6QIVYwiICR2gVQzKEAQYASABEgLpIfD_BwE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Low fire glazes may work on your cone 6 clay, but they may craze badly. It just depends on the clay and the glaze. You'll need to test it to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pres Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Does the project need to be completed immediately? If not bisque fire it, and when the community studio opens back up glaze fire there. At least the bisqueware will not break or damage as easily as bone dry pottery would. best, Pres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
