larathompson288 Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hi there. I have bought this glaze : https://www.potterycrafts.co.uk/Products/potterycrafts-stoneware-glazes/P2813 (firing range 1180 - 1250 degrees C). I have applied it to stoneware clay that I bisque fired at: I have been doing this for bisque: Section 1 - room -> 600 at 90 degree per hour Section 2: 600 - 1000 at 200 per hour Could anyone reccomend a firing schedule in degrees celcius per hour for me? I use an electric kiln. Will I need a soak or anything? Thank you, Lara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kielb Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Here are some tried and true for bisque and glaze to cone 04 and cone 6 respectively. The temperatures in red are whole number equivalents to the degrees f. These schedules are built into the Bartlett controllers and have been used for many years on many many many kilns. The medium speed schedules are probably the most popular for normal wares. That should give you a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 If ware is dry, I have successfuly fired for years using 1. 50C /hr to 100C If not sure of really dry ware Hold at 100C for 15mins 100C to 600 150C to end temp If kiln uneven , hold 10mins. Some folk hold around 700C to burn off stuff. Your clay may not need this. If thicker ware, slow down lower rate of rise. If densely tumbled packed kiln use a slower rate of firing initially too with longer hold at 100C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babs Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 I now slow down last100deg to 80degC per hr. Because some of my glazes need that. Lots on firing schedules on these forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
