It is tapeing, but it is not as much of a pain as
using masking tape.. There is this blue tape for
painting.. It releases sooooo much easier then masking
tape.. The point of it is to be able to tape the whole
house and then paint the whole house and not rip your
walls down a week later when you take the tape down..
Most places have it.. If you are liking this idea and
you cant find it I can get the real and true name from
my recently CLEANED studio.. Ahhhhh.. Four hours, and
I am back to normal....
And then there is the expensive to put them in
zip-locks..

Dear Clayarters,
I would appreciate any help and advice from those who have moved
their homes and studios recently. I am trying to pack my liquid glaze jars
and bottles (all plastic containers) and would appreciate some tips on how
to seal the tops, so they do not leak during the move. Apart from taping
the lids, does anyone have an idea how I could seal them easily. Something
not to hard to remove, when it comes time to reopen them at the other end.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Veena

Veena,
In your situation (long distance move), I would leave the jars open for a
few days to evaporate some of the water off them before sealing. This will
give you less weight to lug around, and less water to slosh around during
transport. Close your lids down tight when you do pack, and seal w/ duct
tape.

Veena,
I would keep those glaze boxes in my personal care to make sure they're not
turned on their sides, etc. As long as the jars are kept right side up, I
don't think you'll have troubles--I never have.

Veena,
If you cover each jar mouth with either aluminum foil or platic wrarp, the
seal will be tighter and the reopening will be easier even if some dried
glaze is on the threads.

Hi Veena,
I just moved 2 times in the last 7 months and not one drop of my glazes
spilled. The first move was 1300 miles from Colorado to Washington state
last August. I was very concerned as we were going from an altitude of 5300+
to near sea level.
I had a friend who works in a grocery store and she was able to get me those
heavy icing buckets with lids that seal really well. I stood on those
suckers to make sure they were tight. To be absolutely sure I also wrapped
packing tape criss-cross over the lid and around the rims.
They all arrived intact. A few showed signs of contracting from the
altitude change but the lids held fast. I had more problems with smaller
plastic jars (like Vlasic pickles jars) that really contracted.
The second move was only 4 miles away. I made sure the lids were on really
tightly again and then we just stacked them.
I also used these buckets for dry glazes, small jars of glazes, slips, tools
etc. That made them more manageable for me. I was careful to label the
outside of the buckets so unpacking wasn't a total nightmare.
I really didn't have a difficult time getting the tape off of them.
I would give you one tip. Make sure your packers do NOT pack any Windex type
cleaners. One packer did that and every bottle of Windex leaked!
It was a mess.
Good luck with your move.
