Lids?
I would like to throw some pieces that have lids and have a few questions. I
think it would be best to dry the two together, but how would you keep them from adhering to one another? Also, when firing, if I wax the bottom of the lid, would that be all I need to do to keep it from sticking to the pot? Thanks all! |

If they're leather hard when you dry them together, they shouldn't stick to each other. The only problem I could forsee in the drying process is if the lid fit too tightly and and the pot shrunk a bit while drying. Otherwise it should be fine at that stage. When glazing, I wax both the gallery of the lid and the rim of the pot. You have to be *sure* to wipe off any tiny bit of glaze that might be on the pot and lid where they touch. They might stick anyway, but if it's just a small area where they stick, give the pot a *gentle* whack or two with a big stick to loosen them up. Deb R. |
