Subject: Converting a kiln/residual lead
Hello everyone. I am hoping someone can help me with
this. In my cellar I have an old kiln that my mother
used. The casing is about 18 inches by 18 inches, and
my mother fired lead glazes in it thirty years ago.
Some of the bricks are damaged and the outside metal
has very little rust.
Could this be converted into a raku kiln? Should I try
to do this or will the lead have contaminated the
inside of the kiln? I've kept the kiln for many years
and now have a place in New Mexico where I can to do
raku....Or will I give myself lead poisoning and die a
slow and painful death?
Best regards,
Lillian

Get a home test kit! That's prity darn small, you could build it out of
red brick cheeply and unless it's a sentamental thing let the toxic
people take care of the remnents. Lead volitizes after a certain
tempeture(I don't recall right now) and disepates "INTO THE
ENVIRONMENT".Probably do about as much damage as 62 beers.
Stay in there, don't hurt yourself.

I found this article on purging lead from kilns
on the Claytimes site and thought it might be of interest to
a few.
