  1. Tile warping in glaze fire

    Posted 16 Nov 2012

    New to forum! Thoroughly enjoying the site, gallery and forum. My mind is swirling with wonderful ideas!

    Wondering if anyone has a suggestion as to why my 4 inch tiles are warping in the glaze fire? (cone 5-6)

    I have already done the following: use groggy clay (Std 240G), carefully slab-roll (double roller) to 3/8 inch thickness, compress slab with rib, use care to not bend or drape slabs when moving, cut tiles when slab is firmed, dry between two pieces of sheet rock, flip tiles over partway through drying, dry slowly (4-6 weeks in a crawl space South Carolina basement!).

    Tiles are essentially flat when dry, Bisque fire to 06 and remain flat. Cone 6, various glazes, sprayed. I lose over half of the tiles to significant warping in the glaze fire.

    Help?
