Hey Folks,
I have some bisque that has been collecting dust for some time. When
ready to glaze, how best do I prepare the bisque ware??
Thanks in advance...Norm! 8^o

Wash it, let it dry. Glaze and fire
as usual.

Hello Norm,
i dust them with a clean & dry sponge and wash
them in clean water 48 hours before glazing.
Results are excellent, i have done this trick to
pots that had been standing quite many years
on shelves
Later,

As I sit here waiting for Hurricane Georges to hit and I still have electric,
I thought I would offer a suggestion.
Anytime I have bisque stuff sitting for awhile I always dust it with a clean
brush (paint or makeup) and refire in my next ^06-04 load. Dust again and
glaze.
Wish all us So. Florida potters luck. Winds are kicking up and I ran out of
plywood for the last window. Good thing it's the computer room and not the
studio. (can move the computer).
Be back in a couple of days.

I've washed dusty bisque, but not too successfully. I've had glazes crawl on
some of the pieces. I now rebisque the pieces and have had no problems glazing
them. Good luck!

Alternatively, use a compresser and blow them off real good, then glaze.

Norm,
If you have an air compressor, one good way (best??) is to just blow the dust
off.....inside and out. If they are really dusty and you don't have
compressed air then it will have to be a wet method and you might have to
actually hold them under the faucet and then let them dry out for a day or
two.

Ooooh, be sure to rinse the dirt off with plain water & let the peice dry
prior to applying glaze in order to avoid crawling & other unwanted defects in
your glaze fire.

You know i've seen several posts lately about "blowin' 'em off"..
Unless one is set up very well in the spray booth department,
using compressed air in the studio is very ill advised... That's
silica dust for goodness sake !
Make Mud Not Dust.
I'm with the first post above, wash it.
Sorry Earl, how are you set up for this? are you breathing
good air ?

Earl Brunner suggests: "Alternatively, use a compresser and blow them off

I suppose in open air, this could be alright. Given the problems with dust in
a clay studio, using compressed air as a cleaning agent seems like a bad idea.
Blow you bisque off in the spray booth?? Compressed air will not remove any
greasy finger prints and will not add water to the body to cut its absorbing
power.
If you must use compressed air to clean things, wear a HEPA respirator and
goggles, not just safety glasses, for eye protection.
I am sticking to my slow wet sponge.
