Haven't done ^04-06 but I have refired wood-fired
stuff with overglaze lusters, no problem.

I refire wood and charcoal fired ware with lusters and overglazes to 018-01=
6 with no affect to the high fire finish. At 05, I found that some of the f=
lashing starts to change, I tried the 05 many years ago so my memory might =
be faulty, but for some reason I stay away from 05... -Rimas

I am wondering if anyone has ever refired a wood fired pot (about cone
11-12) in an electric kiln and used low fire glazes in small areas.
I have a few wood pots that I like a lot and think would work well with a
few area of color only possible with 05 commercial stuff.
Would I lose the effects of flashing.
I am not worried about the ash since the surfaces are lightly covered due
to their protected placement in the kiln.
Any advise would be great.
I guess I could just try one, though, couldn't I?
