Meagan Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Hi! I am trying to make a large planter. Spent hours on it only now I think the walls are much too thin and that it will break. Is there any way to make it thicker so I can save it? I could roll more slabs and attach to the outside but will it get air bubbles? Should I let it get leather hard and cover it in slip for additional strength? Are all of these ideas just super complicated and better to entirely start over? Thank you so much in advance. The walls are about 1/4 thick and the planter is about 20 inches high and 14 inches wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babs Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Should fire fine , if decide too delicate for planter, could use it to hold a plant pot, or use as wastepaper bin.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pres Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 The thicker coil that @Minmentioned will also protect the rim from cracking or chipping if it were used for any functional purpose. best, Pres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
