Disaster
I made a horse on special order and it slumped against another pot so they are
glazed together - his front leg to the vase's belly. Is there any way I can seperate them at least to save the horse! Best, Sue |

You can try using a dremel tool with a carbide cutting blade on it - be sure
to wear a mask. Donna "Sue Roessel Dura" wrote in message news I made a horse on special order and it slumped against another pot so they are glazed together - his front leg to the vase's belly. Is there any way I can seperate them at least to save the horse! Best, Sue |

The gods were with me on this one! When I glanced into the kiln and saw the
horse had slumped, I assumed it was stuck to the vase. After things cooled off enough to actually open the kiln, there was a hair's breadth between the 2 pieces. So the horse could stand on its own and wasn't damaged! Thanks for your input - my husband also recommended a dremel so I'll keep that under advisement ;-) Best, Sue On Thu, 6 Dec 2007 14:32:04 -0500, "D Kat" wrote: You can try using a dremel tool with a carbide cutting blade on it - be sure to wear a mask.

In defense of "little" power tools, let me say that I have both a Dremel and a die grinder (like a router stuffed into a Dremel-on-steroids housing). The die grinder is fantastic for when you really need to remove material (wood, etc), but it takes 2 hands to use it. The Dremel is much better for the sort of fine detail work that the OP (might have) needed. (Regardless, wear eye protection and a respirator.)

Ok Rob - those are fighting words! (fine I'm a nerd wantabe but...). I like
my miter and recipical saw (in my dreams I have a table and a band saw) but really I think the even dremel on second thought is too big and powerful for this job. If it had actually melted on the other pot, I am now thinking that what you would want is a carbide wire (like a flexible cutting wire covered in carbide grit) that you would work slowly through the glaze. The question is - do they make anything like that? "Rob Morley" wrote in message t... In article , Sue Roessel Dura says...
