Greetings to all on a very somber day,
Our nations situation makes going about my own business more difficult as
it does for many others, but thats what I must do. I just fired a sink in a
bisque kiln and discovered a crack in the rim. I am fairly certain it
happened at the point where I joined a coil together. I read a mention in a
article about the Colemans where Tom Coleman patched one of Elaine's pots.
I assume then that it is possible but I did not see any recipes or
procedures given for doing so. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Winston J. Taylor

Hi Winston,
At a recent workshop, one of the attendees told me how to repair cracks to
bisque. She said to mix kiln wash with "magic water" (Lana Wilson's recipe)
and apply to the crack. Then re-bisque.
I have since used her recipe but have adjusted it by adding some completely
dry clay of the type I am repairing. So far, the results have been amazing!
I used it to repair a student's work that had an S-crack and it held
through the re-bisque and the glaze firing to ^10. It is the first time I
have witnessed a successful S-crack repair.
Good luck!
Lynne

I have repaired students shattered handles when bisque was dropped. I
use a paper clay slip using the same clay toilet paper. You can add a
dash of vinegar and corn syruo if desired. I believe Karen terpstra
mentioned some last week or two ago. Peggy Heer named it spooge without
the toilet paper.
Re-bisque before glazing.
Good luck,
