Hi all,
First of all, does anyone know the best way to fix the grinding marks
on a pot with drips....here are the details. I have a lamp, glazed
in temoku, that dripped in the cone 10 firing. Actually 2 lamps -
got the glaze on too thick. In order to salvage them. I ground down
the drips, and wondered if I splotch a little glaze with my finger on
those grinding spots, what is the lowest temp I can refire them, with
out risking more dripping of the original glaze? What is the lowest
temp that temoku will melt at? I don't want to go all the way up to
cone 10 for fear that I'll get a gob more drips. Also, what does
Temoku do in oxidation? is it just shiny black? if so maybe
oxidation for the repair might work. What do you all think?
I know you are all gonna say, just scrap it and make more but I spent
so much time on them, I might as well try at least once.
Second of all, in the answer to my own question of "what happens to
celedons in a sloooow cool reduction firing?" ...just in case anyone
was interested. Nothing!! They turned out great. My reduction
firing cooled for about 22 hours - firing it down slowly to get some
wicked matte glazes - beautiful - and some amazing temokus... and the
celedons looked fine. But I had some copper reds in there on some
slip cast Toshi casting porcelain and it turned blueish. yuk. I
think that is just the Toshi though.
Thanks

Hi Lesley,
They will run more if you go to cone 10 again - you might be OK at cone 8
or so but I'm only guessing.
You will probably not like what happens in oxidation - a very unpleasant
green is what I got.
Maybe it's possible to polish what you have?
