Hi Paul:
I don't bisque them. I just allow enough time before I need to load the
kiln and let them dry by the stove in the shop or outside in the sun. I
feel them when I think they're ready and if they are very cool and damp
feeling I give them some more time. My wash is 75% alumina oxide and 25%
kaolin. I got the recipe from Tom Turner many moons past.
Hope the wood fire goes well. Say hello to Joe.
regards, Craig Martell Hopewell, Oregon
