reglazing

updated tue 29 jan 08

 

Debby Grant on mon 15 feb 99

So far no one has mentioned the fact that in order to reglaze
an already glazed and fired pot you must thicken the glaze as
well as warming the pot. There is no need to mix an additive in
the glaze. Simply scoop the top water off the settled glaze and
set it aside in a bowl. Now mix up the glaze. If it is too thick
you can re-add some of the scooped off water. Now dip your
pot using dipping tongs. Remember, you cannot wax the foot
of your pot since you are warming it up, but once the glaze dries
it is very easy to wash it off. Now all you have to do is to pour
the saved water back into the glaze.

I keep waiting for someone to mention this but haven't seen it yet. It
definitely helps to briefly sand your pot with about 80 grit. You probably
won't see any visual change, but the glaze will adhere much better.

dear Jeff,

i am not familiar with CMC and refiring but here is what i do know about
applying new glaze for a refire piece. what i have been told is the best
thing to use is maple syrup (probally not availble in the Philippines) or
honey. apply a thinned down coat to the pot and allow it sit for a little
while (probally no more then ten fifteen minutes). then simply reglaze the
pot and fire. if you are doing a large amount of refire you could probally
run a thinned down mixture through your spray gun. another alternative;
that i have never tried, but have been told that it works is elmers glue.
you apply a thin coat to the pot and allow ti sit for a few minutes and then
reglaze.
all of the before mentioned products should burn of in the firing without
affecting the finsh or color of glaze.

hope this helps.

I agree to first look up the archives, before throwing the question in the
group.
Perhaps I'm not very smart in looking up archives, but many times I didn't
get a response. So I think I didn't put the right questions. Nevertheless I
imagine that the answer must be hidden somewhere in the archives (perhaps a
better computer trained member would explain me).
A simple FAQ would be very useful, but I don't know if the huge job has
already been tackled.

My question :

How do I reglaze an already fired and glazed pot?

I have in the past been heating up my pots and sprayed them with a new
layer of glaze. But I'm not happy with that method. I would like to be able
to dip or pour my glaze. Will CMC help me? How much? How long can I store a
glaze mixed with CMC or other product? Can I use the same mixture for the
glazing on bisque fired pots?
Many thanks for your help.

Hello Jeff.
That was the way I discovered clayart.
http://www.potters.org/categories.htm.
I did not understand what it was but I checked it all over.

http://www.potters.org/category140.htm glazes - faults
http://www.potters.org/category044.htm glazes - misc
http://lsv.ceramics.org/scripts/wa.exe?S1=clayart looking for re glazing
Here You must add an E mail address of a sender.Folowing the
potters.org/categories, you will see who's answers you want to check. But it
might take a long time!

Yes you can add CMC, but the glaze slurry will be different. Instead of
writing you a long and complicated letter, try it with small amount of glaze
+1% cmc on a glazed and fired test bar or a small piece, than on another
test tile, this time unglazed.You will see it takes a long time to dry.This
technique is used for painting above the glaze, like majoluica. I keep a
small amount of my base low fire glaze for this purpose as my student
sometimes do not glaze correctly . Just remember, for regular use this glaze
is a punishment (A local term)!

Jeff, and others.

The Clayart Listserv's own archives has a good search engine. Check
it out and study the help page as well.
Here's a link that results from a one-word search in the "Subject"
dialogue box: "REGLAZING" (cut and pasted from Jeff's post.)

http://lsv.ceramics.org/scripts/wa.exe?S2=clayart&L=CLAYART&q=&s=REGLAZING&f=&a=&b=

Hope you find something helpful in amongst all those. Also, if you
want even more "hits", use the main search dialogue box, just above
the "Subject" box, and you will likely get an even larger number of
results, coming not only from the subject line but as well from the
"Body" of the messages.

A comment: while eScribe, Yahoo Groups and Potters.org have archives
of Clayart, the listserv's own archives are by far the most
comprehensive; for that, the user must put up with a slower-arriving
result, and must take some time to learn the "ropes".

Happy searching.

Jeff,
Most of my work is multiglazed and multi fired.I do not warm up my ware
which needs to be reglazed,though undoubtedly it helps glaze to adhere,but
then I live in a fairly dry climate compared to yours. I do not spray this
additional glaze coat.
I simply make the glaze thicker, by pouring off (and saving) the water
which sits on top of the settled glaze. (I add macaloid to all my glazes
when I first mix them, if you use CMC you probably get the same result.) I
brush the thickend glaze onto the surface I wish to reglaze.and let it dry.
Then I pour the water which I have decanted from the glaze back into the
glaze I needed to thicken. Hope this helps you. Mia in ABQ

Gum. Probably gum arabic. It's what makes them brush so smoothly, too.
Also what makes them take longer to dry than the purely water-based glazes

Lots of info in the archives. In short:
Some people heat the sutface to get the
glaze to stick, some add wallpaper paste,
and others add other sticky stuff.

Before adding more glaze, though, be sure
that the glaze was too thin to start with.
Otherwise, your new double-thick layer may
run and make a mess.

Unless the glaze is definitely too thin,
just try refiring it first.

Hi Gaye,
The heating of the ware helps, and many people find that spraying something
on the surface (such as spray starch) helps. For me, I have found that
sanding briefly with something like 80mesh sandpaper works wonders. The
surfaced usually shows no sign of the sanding...I.E. no roughness, but the
new, glazed application really sticks. (Have to differ with Dave on that
one). Spray a layer, set under the heat lamp, then spray another layer.

Good luck. Gail Dapogny in Ann Arbor

Dave Finkelnburg on tue 26 aug 03


Gaye,
Yes and yes. :-)
Two things to keep in mind with reglazing. First, if you are firing to
the original temperature, you are giving the pot considerably more heat work
and risk seeing the pot fail from overfiring. This is especially true with
porcelainous stoneware. With all the flux in the clay body you tend to get
bloating -- blisters form in the clay itself.
Second, getting any additional glaze to dry and stick on an already
fired surface is problematic. If you search the archives there is a lot of
advice. Heating the pot helps. Spraying a thin glaze coat on a heated pot
may work. Adding sugar or another adhesive to the glaze works but with
sugar the glaze gets stinky unless you add some sort of biocide! Surface
preparation, such as sanding, is not helpful, in my observation, and is only
useful if you are trying to remove blisters.
Reglazing can be time-consuming. I'll leave it to you to decide when
you're better off just making new pots.
Good potting!

Ackkk......
why waste good maple syrup..
diluted Elmers glue works fine and is
a lot less expensive.

Lately I do not use anything on the pot.
After wiping it with a damp sponge
I use a torch to heat it up then glaze it.

If the glaze is thick enough - just under-fired - fire it again to proper
temperature. If you need to thicken the coat of glaze - try reglazing +
hope it will stick.

Maybe sandblast or sandpaper on the pot ?

Maybe sticky stuff in the glaze ?

Anyone else ?

Bobbruch1@AOL.COM on thu 28 aug 03


When you talk about reglazing, there can be a number of reasons for wanting
to do that. So you need to consider why you want to reglaze. Did the glaze
look good, but you missed a spot and want to cover it? Is the glaze on too thin?
Or, did that wonderful glaze on the test tile turn out poorly on your pot and
do you want to cover it up with a new glaze? Sometimes a "mistake" can lead
to interesting experiments in combining glazes.

Some glazes take reglazing better than others. Some glazes are easier to
apply in the reglazing process than others.

I have found that matte glazes appear to encourage reglazing better than
glossy glazes. Matte glazes with uneven surfaces seem to be the best.

From applying glazes to the test tiles of your glaze experiments, you can get
an idea of which glazes apply themselves easily to a normal bisque surface.
Those would be good candidates for applying as a reglaze. You may want to
consider painting or spraying them on rather than dipping. Also, you may need to
change the "normal" consistency by lowering the water content and creating a
thicker glaze solution, especially if you are painting them on.

Sometimes, refiring to bisque temperature can create interesting changes. I
believe that glazes that have a high iron content can be good candidates for
refiring at bisque temperature.

I sometimes apply a layer of glaze on the refire candidate and then bisque
it. That tends to give a more matte surface that helps the glaze to better
adhere in a refiring situation.

Hope this helps.

Mildred
I've been reglazing for several weeks now (not a long time, i know). Mainly because the pots have been developing very small (and some not so small) cracks and i've been a wit's end on how to "fix" this.
What has worked successfully for me is to reglaze with a lower temp glaze and refire to a lower cone. I do not heat the pots before re-applying glaze. They are at room temperature. ( I fill the cracks with Aztec, which has worked so far.)
I do not spray on my glazes. Instead, i brush them on somewhat thickly. 2-3 coats. Have had no trouble with the glaze adhering to the pots.
Hope this helps.

I was wondering if there is some substance that could be put on the pot which would allow the new glaze to adhere without spraying or getting third degree burns. In advance, thanks for your help....Mildred Herot - Hollow Tree Pottery - Cheltenham, Pa.

I read on clayart that microwaving the pot is best.

corn syrup helps glaze stick to the pot - must mix in well. I reheat
the pots on top of the kiln.

Bunny Lemak on sun 27 jan 08


You guys are making this harder than it is!!

To reglaze a pice, simply use hairspray - the cheaper the better, on the
spot, then put your glaze on, and viola - done perfectly!


Cheap hairspray (at the .99 cents store, goes a very long way!!)

I've had some good success brushing on some CMC gel since I keep
a jar of it around the studio. And I don't enjoy brushing with corn syrup.
Lee, are you saying you just dip the pot in Coke and let it dry and it
does the trick?

I've had some luck painting the pots with elmer's glue and letting it
dry, then reglazing.

I heard of the trick and tried it and it seems to work:
put some coke in a sprayer and spray it on the pot. Let it dry then
glaze. I am guessing it is the corn syrup in the cola.

Of course, a warmed pot helps too. I set them on the wood
stove. That's all I do now.
