Hi Jerry,
I have been transporting glazed pieces to another kiln for the last few
months. I just make sure they are dry after glazing (overnight) and roll
them up in sheets of foam packing (the thin white sheets). I then pack
them tightly in boxes using bubble wrap between if necessary one layer
deep. I am amazed at how well they have transported and haven't had to
do any touch-up. Good luck!

Not once it dries,..at least we've never had problems with it, but I
wouldn't sptay it near an open flame.

Unfortunately, I have to transport my glazed pieces by car to the kiln.
Does anyone know of ways to protect my glazed surfaces from rubbing off,
scratching, chipping etc while packed in boxes for their ride?

I have never tried it, but how about heavy duty hair spray..go to the
Dollar store, if there is one in your area..that's where I buy mine for
doing brushwork atop glazed but unfired surfaces.By coincidence, it costs
a dollar LOL

Wrapping the pieces in dry cleaning plastic works well. Other plastics
are not as light. Then you can do bubble wrap or peanuts. I like the
hairspray idea, too. Either way, take small jars of your glazes for
patching.

Recently I have been transporting pieces that have been glazed but not =
yet glazed fired. Not sure how I came upon this process, may have read =
it on Clayart!, but it works... Dilute some good ol Elmer's glue in hot =
water at a ratio of about 7:1 (water to glue). Agitate this mixture =
well by shaking and then spray it right over the glazed pieces. Works =
like a charm for transporting and iron heavy tenmoku's don't rub off =
onto your hands when loading.

Jerry, I used to have to do this for about 9 months back about 1973. You
have my sympathy.
What we found worked the best was waxing over the glaze. We were using hot
paraffin to wax the bottoms, so after the pots were glazed, we'd dip the
rims and edges of handles in the hot wax too. It helped to turn the heat up
a bit on the wax so it would really soak into the glaze. Good luck, and I
hope you don't also have to do what we did and carry them all down a flight
of stairs when we got to the kiln.

Spray diluted white glue on them, you can buy it by the gallon.

I wrap pieces for transport with soft drycleaner bags, it not only protects
the glaze surface, but it helps prevent chipping rims & handles too. Make
sure the glaze dries & try to let it set up overnight, this hardens the
surface. Good luck.

Clingfilm (that's what we call it over here). We run a firing service
and several customers use it to avoid damage in transit.

That thin plastic that comes back with cleaned clothes works perfect.
