Cast Iron Enamel Repair in a Pottery Kiln (fail) 

Nice, the touch-up areas blanded nicely, I can't see them anymore.

In your defense, I think you created a pretty good match from the original and touch upped areas...

Oh my, I laughed so hard. Thank you for being such a fantastic inspiration!!! I've been experimenting with rocks and metals imbedded in clay, thanks to you. Had some epic failures but I loved every step of it. Your wit is awesome. Thank you!

Omg, my jaw dropped. Cool experiment!

Interesting experiment. I will not be repeating it. Thanks.

Chisel off the remaining glaze with a needle scaler and season it like regular cast iron.

What a rare treat. Excellent video. ❤

Oh man! I laughed at the tiles to prevent a catastrophe but I do feel your pain. That shelf took a bath on that crusty enamel. Maybe next time you’ll research the temperature at which those are baked? Even though I like it when you experiment lol

Oh my, what a mess! I hope you'll be able to rehabilitate your kiln shelf. I would have been crying...😥

Thank god for those little tiles, this could have been a disaster.

This one cracks me up.

Awesome experiment... Now I know what not to try!

Im sorry but I laughed so hard! One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time ;))))))))

Did you try cone 05?

This inspired me to do some quick youtube searching... Seems like most enamels are powdered glass that's baked near 1200-1500 degrees for minutes at a time... So yeah... :D

This is hilarious, sad, & not what I was expecting 😂

Thank for the laugh. I needed that. 😂😂

Id love to see another experiment glazing a raw cast iron pan. I guess you need a low fire glaze?

If you must fail, then fail in the most Epic way possible!

Mmmmm.. Forbidden cake!

Me at 1:10: 😨 Jesus but regardless you sir are a pioneer thank you for trying

looks like the glaze ran a little

But on the plus side...

I would say it might have worked at 800-1000 degrees not 2160!

Perfect test! LOL

Cast enamel is low fire super fluxed glaze

yeah... way too high. Too bad since it could have been done at a lower temp.

Oops

Thanks for the laugh! If you ever figure out how to actually do this, let me know. I have a favorite Le Crouset Dutch oven that is on its last leg. I have to say, when you said cone 6 I suspected this result.

Ahhhhh!

I think you left it in there for way too long and it burned all the enamel

Ha

Nothing but some hot soapy water and a brillo pad would not fix!

Figure out how to enamel a $20 Lodge cast iron pan and chefs will beat a path to your door!

You fired it way too hot. Most of these vitrious porcelain enamel glazes are around 1,400 degrees F.

🤣🤣🤣
