I am new to this and I just want to say THANK YOU so much for your video! It was straight to the point and the step by step was just perfect. Iwish others made videos like these instead of making them about themselves lol. Thanks again I will share with my professor! :D
It is only a problem if there is glaze left on the bottom. If you look at the video, she didn't submerge the entire pot, and there was no glaze on the bottom after the dip. If there had been any, she would have needed to wipe it off with a sponge, so that the piece didn't fuse to the kiln shelf in the firing. But waxing the bottom is only a means to that end. It only makes it easier (sometimes) to keep glaze off the bottom and/or to wipe it off.
your glaze looks so watery my glaze is too thick and runs and doesn't fall off or flow well to do insides like that in an even layer. I am beyond the recommended water by two cups already for a 10lb bag. I am using Pam's Blue Coyote. thanks for any tips
