Spray glazing

Drying the pot to spray more glaze

Applying release layer to the glaze catcher- 1/2 kaolin + 1/2 aluminum hydroxide I don't use glue. You have to move the pots by holding the glaze catcher.

Placing the pot on the catcher

Cracking the seal between the fused pot and catcher after the firing.

Tapping the catcher after heating

Grinding the glaze from the foot. It is difficult to see what you are doing with a bench grinder on smaller pots and completely impossible on large pots. I am grinding this one in front of my spray booth. The fan is powerful and pulls all the dust out. Note- not for those concerned about the risk of using a grinder without the safety guard. Wear heavy gloves.

Good tools for grinding

Diamond cut off disk for fast grinding.

Diamond hook-and-loop pads for fine finishing.
