large tub for glaze application

I have been all behind with my Clayart reading, so rather later than
everyone else... I recommend baby bath tubs, which I came across
in one of my classes some years ago - great for glazing large
shallow pieces, or fatbelly coil pots, or awkward forms. They are
lightweight, and big enough to stand a banding wheel in and pour
glaze while turning the wheel, and most of the mess goes into the
bathtub.

Here's another suggestion. Found myself in need of a quick solution to a
problem with dipping a large platter. Took a large shallow box, lined it
with a plastic garbage bag, taping the edges of the opening down, filled
partway with glaze and dipped. Worked like a charm. Did 6 platters this
way. Was able to pour remaining glaze back into the bucket, then just
disposed of the plastic bag. Neat and efficient and definitely appealed to
my Virgo nature!

I use a large white enameled photography pan. It is really nice because
one corner has a pouring spout making it easy to pour back into the
bucket.
