Amelia Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 A potter neighbor who retired gave me these ware carts (score!) and I am wondering what folks use to cover when throwing for a slow dry? I previously used narrow ware boards on wire racks, and would cover each board with split open trash bags. If you have similar carts, what’s your system? Ideally I’d love a cover that went over the whole thing, but I can’t find one online. I’ll use one for throwing and one for greenware/bisque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Reich Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 If your shelves are wood, they might not like being in a damp atmosphere. i made a cover for rolling shelves with a silver tarp, folded like wrapping a package on the top, and secured top and sides with clamps. Not entirely tight but it slows drying. Rudimentary hand sewing skills and a big needle with heavy thread could customize and make a tighter cover.

Callie Beller Diesel Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 You could probably customize a cover with some vapour barrier and duct tape, if you ‘ve got any kicking around. dhPotter and Rae Reich 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amelia Posted September 11 Author Report Share Posted September 11 @Rae Reich thanks! I’m planning on switching the wood shelves to hardibacker pieces. Will try to diy a cover. Appreciate the ideas! Rae Reich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked it out and the price for a cover for my Raku kiln was less than half for the same dimensions at the Coverstore!

Hulk Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 ,) We haven't bought from them yet; if we do, I'll follow up with a review. Sometimes, there's vendors that have great pricing. See, for example, D. Lawless Hardware for cabinet bits - hinges, pulls, etc. Rae Reich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bette Posted Monday at 10:55 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:55 PM I have a smaller Bailey cart and used plastic sheeting & installed zipwall zippers to make a cover with easy access. My purpose isn't for drying though, I use it to store pots that are ready to sell to keep them dust free so the heavy plastic works well for me, but for drying you might need a more permeable material.

JohnnyK Posted Wednesday at 11:52 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 11:52 AM I placed an order with Covers & All for my Raku kiln and have come to find out that it was made in India...I'll let you all know what kind of quality the cover is when I get it around the end of this month.
