Hi!
I was wondering if maybe one of you can help me. Is it possible to fire polish a finished piece ( like a bowl ) without fistorting it? If so what temperature and for how long?
Thank you

You could leave it in the mold, go up slowly to 1000, then shoot up to 1350 approx., then back down to anneal. Schedules change from kiln to kiln, this is an approximation. Brock

My memory is so good, I can't remember the last time I forgot something . . .
Hi,
I slumped a bowl over a stainless steel mixing bowl. I sprayed the top with Super spray to keep it from devitricating. Some of it ran is on the inside and it looks bad. I was thinking that if I could sit the bowl in the kiln without the slumping mold that I may be able to fire polish the inside of the bowl. Is that possible?
