Enjoyed the video.....I have made an assembly you may want to try. Worked well for me and hoping that the PLA will hold up well. Will now see if I can figure out how to send you photos.Posted them on your Facebook page.
You solve every problem! That is cool! I would like to know if you made your stamp or what... Best logo application I've seen. Gotta send one to Jon...
As soon as I saw this I thought: Wow, that's a cool idea if you are a hand-builder and use that as your bottom. Where'd you get your stamp made? Thanks for all of your videos.
I am using the canola oil spray and it is working wonderfully for stamping, but I’m curious.. Can the oil stain the clay? I am using a white stoneware and my greenware has a bit of weird discoloration from the oil. Does this go away once fired for you?
Hi, Justin, you are a life saver!! i tried the way you show us how to put a stamp on the mug, and your video it was very helpful, thank you! Now i have a question about the oil i used to avoid the stamp stick on clay. Is the oil going to be a problem when i do the bisque or glaze firing?? Andif I need to put underglaze on it, it is going yo affect the underglaze?? please help!!! thank you!
If you held a small throwing sponge inside the soft mug on the wheel, might that help to give a good impression, it being able to cover the area more evenly that your fingers?? And could you use cornstarch instead of oil for making stamps releasable?? I tend to do that and have not had any problems.
I've had a hard time using backers like a sponge. A little too soft for me. Hard items like pipe sections work well, but stick to the clay as well. I think a plaster or bisque fired form to use inside the mug when stamping is where I'm looking next. I have used Talc as a release agent, but I find the oil releases better, especially with a deep and intricate stamp. Thanks for the comments!
How are you attaching the piece to the mug? My dad is trying to make these for my business but the rounds keep exploding off the mug during firing. It’s hard to get them on the mug firmly without distorting the image.
I slip and score them onto the mug. The key is to keep both the mug and logo at the same dryness. It's also wise to dry them slower than you might normally, and also try to attach the logo without capturing a large air pocket behind it. The cooking spray should let you handle and attach the logo without too much distortion. An extra day under plastic can make a big difference. If they dry evenly together, I have no problems with them popping off in the kiln.
Justins Makery Just placed an order for one of the tools on your site! So happy we came upon you today. Hopefully it will make this process faster and easier
In one of Jon the potters videos he scored the whole sheet before he makes his cutouts. Then you flip it over stamp out and viola. It was a game changer for me and sped up the process as well as limited handling too. Love your stamps bought three so far.
I want to know how i can engrave print or write on clay glass (search- kulad) I want to print different messages on every glass i sell to have a tea or any hot drink. I would really appreciate your response
