regarding skin protection for hands.i read in an old ceramics monthly a
recommendation for a non greasy invisible cream for wet work called kerodex
71. worked great however my copper red glaze behaved oddly in the next
firing. i shelved the kerodex preferring chapped hands to failed copper
reds. might be no connection. anyone else have experience with this
product?

I have used kerodex for wet work for most of my many years of manking pots.
In fact, I did post to this list a while back regarding the same.
It works, and if you value your skin, it is the best non-greasy barrier
cream available.I fail to see the connection in the above post regarding
glaze success and hadn cream, unless the writer did not follow the
directions or used the cream as a decorative embellishment on the bisque
ware and then glazed it.

Kerodex is a wet barrier cream designed to keep water away from youir skin.
As such I think it's safe to assume that it would also keep glaze away
from bisque. Therefore, tho I use it when throwing, I would never under any
circumstances wear it when glazing.

If you look for Kerodex, check for different kinds. Years ago, in My
Sportscar buff incarnation, I used a version that was for use in oily
environments. I kept both on hand, but , because I was fortunate that
glazes and clay did not give me trouble, I let the one for use in watery
work get lost.
