Open pour molds are simple to pour. Using plastic reusable condiment bottle filled with slip, pour each mold until the slip completely fills the design. Wait until the slip is dry enough that if you were to touch it, the slip won't stick to you. Dump the pieces making sure not to damage the design. Let the design dry thoroughly and fire to Cone 04.
How To Use Bisque Add-ons
Add-ons are SIMPLE for you & your clientele.
The customers attach their own add-ons to their pieces, so there really is
no additional work for you!
Add-ons are SIMPLE for you & your clientele.
Customers first paint add-ons and then adhere the add-ons with white
dimensional puffy) paint or a white school glue to a flat,
horizontal surface. Let the pieces dry thoroughly before dipping.
You dip & fire the same as your other bisque, just keep in mind when
loading, that add-ons must be on a horizontal surface, i.e. parallel to
the kiln shelf. To adhere add-ons to a vertical surface, customers
first paint the add-dons, then dip and fire each piece individually.
Once fired, adhere the add-ons using a glue, such as E6000 or 527 and tape
them down to dry.
Our Add-ons can easily be made into MAGNETS or
ORNAMENTS.
Some add-ons also make wonderful ornaments. These add-ons are marked throughout our catalog with a separate item number to order it as an ornament. There is no additional cost for an add-on to be made into an ornament. Remember, all add-ons have a design on one side and this also applies to our ornaments.
From time to time we
do take special orders. If there is a design that you are interested
in that we do not normally carry, just contact us.

How
To Attach:
Customers first paint add-ons and then adhere the add-ons with white dimensional paint, i.e. French Dimensions or Elmer's glue, to a flat, horizontal surface. You dip & fire the same as your other bisque, just keep in mind when loading, that add-ons must be on a horizontal surface, i.e. parallel to the kiln shelf, to fire them attached to a piece. To adhere add-ons to a vertical surface, customers first paint the add-dons, then dip and fire each piece individually. Once fired, adhere the add-ons using a glue, such as E6000 or 527.
Should you have any problems with adhering add-ons, feel free to contact us any time. We recommend using Elmer's glue when attaching add-ons to horizontal pieces. It tends to hold a little better in the dipping process. Just make sure that the glue is contained under the add-ons. Once fired, the glue will burn off and the add-ons will fuse to the base piece. The best way to get add-ons to hold best is to use a large "glob" of glue on the middle of the add-on, enough glue that when the items are put together the glue is touching both pieces. Also make sure that the pieces are thoroughly dry before dipping. Otherwise, the add-ons can fall off in your glaze tank.
