It's been fun to read comments about the Peanut mugs that I've done with Mahalo Tiki. Of the 20, 17 needed touch up due to tiny glaze skips or smudges or runs on the interior black.

I couldn't believe that so many needed help. I thought I must be a very poor instructor. Well it turns out that without me nagging Dan to change the nozzle he used the less powerful one on the hose for these mugs and another whole kiln load. I found out because I found grit on those still wet from his hosing. That was the problem.

So today we put on the right nozzle and re-sprayed them all. No shortcuts because in the end it triples the work and costs money to re-fire.

Yesterday day I re-glazed all 17 and put them in the kiln to fire.
Glazing.

Drying.

In the kiln.

They come out in the morning. This time they should be OK.
Mahalo Tiki will be surprised that when they come on Sunday these will be ready to be taken home with them.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, Wendy
