single fire glazes on bisque pots??

updated wed 9 jun 99

 

Ron Philbeck on tue 8 jun 99

I have quite a few bisque fired pots that I brought home from a workshop, =
most
of my glazes I have in the studio have added bentonite for raw glazing. =
Will I
have trouble with these glazes going on bisque ware? I know I will have to
adjust the thickness.
These are pretty standard glazes:
Temple white, with 6=25 bent added...the original called for no bent.
A shino high in Neph Sy (50=25), with 5=25 bent. added ... the original =
called for
2=25
and
Temmoku/Mark's Black, with 7=25 bent added
I am firing gas reduction to cone 10.
Thanks in advance
