Yeah--oops. Tried to be efficient (I should know better) and squeek in a
bisque load. Put in the wrong cone and now I have a load of toasty cone 6
glazeless bowls. I plan to try the Elmer's Glue application and then glaze
but any other suggestions are most welcome.

knox ...looking for a sense of humor in all the wrong places.......currently
in Virginia where the wind is trying to blow us all to Kansas and the 4 baby
robins are about to break out of their nest...I'll miss 'em

heat the pots up before glazing and use thicker glaze

Try the smear-on-and-let-dry Elmer's Glue trick, or spray starch on your
pieces before glazing. Be sure the coating is very dry before you dip.
Both methods work like a charm for my students who invariably don't like
something first time around.
