I enjoy pit firing, and would like to make my pots a little more "water
proof."
I thought you could line a pot with a low fire glaze as the was being
bisqued.
Has anyone tried using a low fire glaze "liner" for the inside surface
of the pot.
Any suggestions on a suitable glaze, other ideas, would really be
appreciated.
Thanks

Indeed you could do that; see recent issue of PMI for article describing
just that. Note that the glaze used in that case contains lead; choose
something else. There are lots of low-fire liner glazes. Give it a try.

I have fired pots to cone 04 with glazes and then sawdust fired them. I'm not
sure they will be waterproof, but the effect is nice. Also, you could fire
the clay to a higher temp bisque, say cone 01 or 1 to make the clay tighter.
Or you could bisque to 08, then glaze to 1 and do the pit firing then. If you
are using a high fire clay, it should still be open enough to except the
smoke. Hey this all sounds interesting, I think I'll try it.

Al,
Yes, you can put a low fire glaze liner in the pot, applying it to bone
dry ware and then bisquing, prior to smoking the pot.
You can also apply a glaze liner to the bisqued pot and just put it in
the pit...if your pit gets hot enough to melt the glaze, that is.
The result will be a crackle glaze with black in the crackle pattern.
I've also heard of people putting a sealer inside a raku pot...something
like Thompson's Water Seal.
Obviously these pots are not for food or drink!

I'm just a new clayarter and I enjoy a lot your mails ! They are very
interesting and thanks a lot for your informations and recommendations.
Hi Allan !
I also enjoy smoked potteries. The porosity is a problem of course but
you can have solutions.
I use a low fire glaze for the inside surface but it remains porous.
I put inside a very liquid silicon used for the protection of roof
tiles, made by "Rubson", it is sold in metallic pots, you pour it in the
pot, laying it well on all the surface and pour it away. Let it dry some
10 minutes and do it again twice or three times. Sure your pot will not
be more porous.
For a comestible use, you pour in your pot hot whole milk (with fat) and
let it get cold in it. The fat gets into the clay and prevents from
porousity.
I hope it will work for you !
Regards
