Suggestions needed for getting a nice clean line at the rim of a piece when
you are lining the pot with a different glaze than the outside. Mine just
do not look crisp and clean.Thanks Veronica

Veronica,

I believe you will find complete instructions for this process at the
Digital Fire site. http://digitalfire.com It's located under "education" or
something like that.

Veronica,

In the past someone, I think Tony Hansen, gave an exhaustively
detailed description of how to do this. I vaguely think it might be
posted on the digitalfire.com website also? If you can't find it,
let me know and I'll try to dig it out.

I hope others will post their methods as well.

Chris

a very thin line of wax leaves just the
vitrified clay as a border. if you wax your
feet also, the two bands of similar colored
clay are quite attractive and don't hamper
function much.

Veronica: Try glazing the outside first, wipe the rim clean with a
sponge and let it fully dry. Paint a 1/4" line of liquid wax over the
outside glaze, just a hair short of the edge. When you glaze the inside,
the wax line should make a crisp seperation of the two glazes. This can
also be done with liquid latex, but the latex MUST be peeled off prior
to firing.
Hope this helps, Carol

My best shot at this is to do the outside glaze, let it dry, brush resist on
top of the glaze right up to the edge of it, then glaze the inside, being
very careful and very fast when you pour the extra out. However, some of the
problem might just be that the glazes run together. In that case, maybe the
issue will be getting a more stable glaze. For instance, cobalt seems to
seep into the adjacent glazes, same with copper carb.

Veronica- After glazing the inside of your bowl or whatever, apply some wax
resist to the top edge of the glaze. Then when you are pouring your glaze
on the outside, the line will stay clean. That's the only way I know to do
it.

Ann in CA, still waiting to unload the kiln after finishing a -can you
believe it- 24 hr. cone 7 electric firing early this morning. One of the
elements must have a short. It was climbing reaalllly slow late last
night, but as long as it was still climbing, I decided to leave it on. At
least I didn't have to soak at the end--it got that on the way up!

Sometimes I just use masking tape around the outside of a piece so the
glaze line is cleaner at the rim. It's a nice removeable resist. Do the
liner first, leave the tape on and apply wax. Remove the tape and glaze
the outside. Lot of mucking about but on some pieces it's worth taking the
extra time I guess.

Veronica -
I don't know if this has already been suggested, but this is what I have my
students do when they want a really crisp line between the liner glaze and
the outside glaze. I pour in the liner glaze, rotate it around the inside
quickly, and then pour it out over the rim, so that it coats the rim. When
the liner is dry, I place the pot on a banding wheel, and paint a nice wide
band of wax resist inside the rim, right up to where I want the dividing
line to be. Once the wax is dry, I sponge off any liner glaze extending
beyond the wax line. A good soft, wet sponge works great for this, and
removes virtually all the glaze without affecting the wax. I then dip the
pot upside-down into the outside glaze.
Good luck -
