Haven't used salt, but have achieved some interesting results using soda
ash.
Not unlike either salt or wood firing. I dipped into the soda ash solution
prior to glazing, leaving some areas only coa=
ted with the soda ash. Use alumina on the feet or put the piece on wads, if
you get any soda ash on the feet.

Hey All:
Has anybody mixed salt and water into a spray bottle
and just lightly mist freshly glazed ware, pop it
into the kiln and Presto....... What could I expect?
Or is this a big no no?

Kat,
Yes, presto is usually the case but sometime you get crusto or eat'o into
the pot'o. 100 grams in a medium sized spray bottle is usually sufficient
to cause some nice action on the surface. Keep records because too much
salt will not be good. Be aware that salt likes to eat softbrick. The
amount you are spraying is very very minimal in terms of let's say a hi soda
ash glaze. Don't worry about the salt spritz hurting your kiln unless you
have a very very very concentrated spray. If you are doubtful, spray
various amount a test brick and fire it to see what happens.
Good skill'in to you!
Tony
Thank you.

Hate to rain on your parade, but I'm speaking from personal
experience.........
All I ever got those many years ago was a very impersonal form letter from
his publisher.
Ditmar
Just because you believe it, doesn't make it true.

Yes, I did that with my wood kiln. Just go lightly with the spray. Also, you
can check the clayart archives. There should be info in there on past
suggestions on soaking pots in a salt brine, which you might also want to
try.
Also, I used pure sea salt rather than iodized salt.
Regards,
June Perry
