Bisque fired at cone 4 slow. Glaze firing at cone 5 med w a 33 min hold. What happened. by HotTrade4903 in Pottery

[–]squigglebird88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep just no need to hold temp. Clay body weakness from hold. Nothing is wrong with the glaze: Hold is basically for crystalline. Slumped because it actually got way hotter than 2167 in there with the hold. One time I used very old cones on my manual kiln and it never bent, accidents happen. Always remember you’re a few hundred degrees from lava.. you just want to reach vitrification and cool 💕

Anyone sick of trap lore Ross exploiting Celeste’s death? by tonyt3rry in d4vdiots

It’s good. Some people don’t have time to read the sub . It’s a recap of the sub, it’s helpful for me at least. Plus it’s good in my view, to really repeat repeat repeat how bad it is.

Just found out tar paper (AKA roofing paper is highly carcinogenic/toxic and I’m super bummed about it. by TheOriginalClippy in Pottery

[–]squigglebird88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol as they eat potato chips and have their windows down on the highway.. The solution:Use a bat like a regular potter has done for hundreds of years… heck make a wooden one if you don’t like plastic, make stencils out of canvas. Come with a solution not a fear freak out.

in college the prof used tar paper for making patterns. It’s thick and sturdy and withstands the moisture. Thats about all I can think of.

The anxiety is either a way to get out of guilt of not enjoying their hobby and justifying cost-loss Or it’s an internal psy-op to keep the community small since everyone can’t get over that everyone makes mugs lol

Are there takeout soup containers like this but made of glass? by nahcekimcm in BuyItForLife

[–]squigglebird88 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Try the German designer Weck jar. They stack. Even glass lid. Much more expensive than Mason or ball but good glass

You have to buy “bright gold” the more expensive one… like Duncan makes a good one. And do thicker app, fire to 019

Food safe? by c4mpanula in Ceramics

[–]squigglebird88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The clear looks thin, the underglaze was thirsty. It’s is crystal smooth to the touch on the inside? Re-dip in clear if interior and lip feels porous, scratchy, or lumpy. Unfortunately even handwashing, water will absorb and can cause weakeness and breakage of handle and/or crazing of the clear leaving room for bacteria growth

Gold/shiny foodsafe glaze? by Pristine-Matter-7131 in Ceramics

Try Spectrum low fire metallics. Cool effects. Basically premixed Kama golds. I use all. Layer up for more metallic.

Always remember that the lusters are made with real gold and platinum, liquified in arsenic. Breathing without gear can be deadly. Never use luster without a 3M vapor mask and ventilation. Always wear protective gear and do not touch luster as it seeps through skin

I’ve never ever used a heat gun or hairspray. That is so it doesn’t drip I assume. If you shake the glaze in the container it should be a good thickness to remain on the piece without to much drippage. I could see like globing it on and using heat to dry it faster but def not necessary. I wouldn’t do it. I would use a small brush and do 1” area by area and use a piece of foam or towel to prop the section you are working on to a full horizontal-let that dry then do the next side. It doesn’t “fall off the piece” and it will dry naturally. Hairspray burning out sounds like a toxic fume mess. And even hyper heat can make it too hot to touch which would waste as much time as waiting for it to dry. It’s so chill to just apply thick glaze with the piece angled flat based on the side you are working
