Reglazing fired pieces

To re-glaze a fired piece you need to do one of the following: Spray the piece with spray starch, let dry, then reglaze. Spray the piece with sticky hairspray (usually the cheapest you can find), dry, reglaze. Heat the piece first, with a heat gun or in the oven or kiln, then apply glaze, (my favourite). Brush white (Elmer´s) glue on, let dry, reglaze. Microwave the piece for 30 seconds. (Some potters say this makes a huge difference, and the piece doesn´t need to actually get or stay hot) Add some suspension agent to the glaze (CMC gum or Bentonite.) Add some detergent / shampoo to the glaze (baby shampoo is good because it doesn´t foam) To improve your odds further, wash the pot first with ammonia or detergent, wearing rubber gloves, and don´t touch it. The oils from your fingers can prevent glaze from sticking. And... Don´t use too much of anything. If you get the coating too thick, you may prevent adhesion instead of encouraging it.
