Do you have a video for a glaze fire?
Thank you so much. I'm very grateful.
This is the best most detailed video I have seen. I just purchased this kiln. I have a question regarding the electrical outlet. Mine was second hand and did not come with the cord. How do I plug it in!?
This was super informative. Thank you! I will try to find this plaster rather than use plaster of paris. The math is incorrect in the video though, 2100 × 0.66 = 1386 ≈ 1400 Or 2100 × 66% Or 2100 × 2/3 (P.s. submicron particles, like in plaster, penetrate the lining of your lungs and enter the bloodstream doing who knows what, storing who knows where. Damage can be cumulative, so wearing a mask is in your best interest. I'd feel comfortable pouring outside and standing up wind without a mask, though.)
I appreciate this video. Your kiln is the most similar to mine that I have seen in a video. I would be curious to know how you do a glaze fire in this kiln as well. I’ve fired my kiln a few times and I feel like it’s going much faster than most videos I’ve seen from others. Wondering if it’s just how my kiln operates, if there’s something wrong with it or I’m doing something wrong.
Great tutorial! I will try this. Is the ratio the same for making hump and slump mould? Also, I didn’t see you measure the plaster but rather, you seemed to eyeball it from the island level. Is that correct?
Yes I eyeball it. I use the same method for all my plaster hump and slump work although I will use the ratio method when making complex slip casting molds.
Hi Jacquie! Quick question:-) Do you do the same steps for glaze firing at cone 6?
Glaze firing is a bit different and easier. I don’t prop the lid or open the peeps. On my kiln it’s one switch per hour. The entire firing and cooling is longer because it’s much hotter.
Shouldn't you have measured out the plaster vs taking it directly out of the bag?
this video is both confusing and humorous. She went to all the trouble to show us the math (which still confuses me; isn't 2/3 x 2100 = 1400? ) she carefully weighs everything, but in the end does it by the seat of the pants method. I appreciate her knowledge and experience, but this video cracks me up. AND is a release agent required in the the rubbermaid container or does it the plaster not stick at all? and since this is just basically a sponge, does it really matter if there are air pockets (bubbles) in the slab?
I do the measurement to show how much water to use. It’s about 2/3 the total amount of volume of the end result of solid plaster you want. The plaster part is based on saturation. You can do this through exact ratio weights but this method works for my purposes.
The bubble removal is important if you don’t want broken bubble dots all over the top of your plaster slab or do strength. I use the slab for other purposes so less bubbles means more solid, therefore less likely to snap.
Why not make a giant batch in a large bowl and then pour what you need into your mold cup?
Sometimes do make a large batch but you need other containers to be prepped for the extra plaster so you don’t waste any.
What on Earth is Oil Soap . . . . . ??
An oxymoron for ya! Great for wood floors too!
These are extremely large ballz !
I am very new to pottery and considering getting my own Evenheat Kiln because I'm paying $100 a week in kiln costs at the studio where I take classes. Your video was awesome, gave me hope that this isn't over my head. However, I do have one question, why did you have to vent your kiln if you were using it in an open door garage? Thank you!
Good question. I usually keep the garage door closed during firings especially in the winter. Plus this way the organic burns up goes outside rather than within the garage and potentially into the house.
Thanks! Oil soap is a great idea for mold release!
Keep it up
I really enjoyed it
Thank you! Nothing beats the joy of the final separation except maybe opening a successful kiln!
Tuned in for more
Very impressive
Thank you! I hope you make your own too!
This is so good
Isn't it going to shrink when u fire it??
Good point! Yes it will shrink a little. It’s not a tight exact fit so it won’t really matter.
Thank you for the great video! A little question, how can we prevent the styrofoam leaving marks in the mold? Thank you ❤
I have found that you can't prevent the texture from being in the plaster mold. However, sanding the inside of the plaster mold works really well to make a smooth surface.
I use a rounded metal rib on the inside of the mold and scrape it to get it smooth enough for my usage.
Thanks for this awesome how to!
You’re welcome!
I just bought this exact same kiln used. This video is very helpfull, thank you for making it 😊
Good to know it’s helpful! I made a few errors. It’s 2 hours for the first switch and 1 hour for each of the others. I have since found out that since I have those little holes drilled in the top, I don’t need to keep one peep open throughout. Plus I have a lid latch that I discovered a year ago! So no more stilts holding the lid open for the first switch. Best of luck using yours!!!
What was the fan you turned on, after turning the pottery kiln on? Does your kilns give off any bad gases that can effect our health?
Good to know it’s helpful! I have a down draft fan. It pulls those gases and organic burn smells out and through the dryer exhaust tube that goes through to outside.

This is great! I inherited a similar manual kiln by Sno Industries. They were bought out and it's like they never existed, but this gives me a good starting point to figure the thing out!

I have same kiln, can you share how you glaze fire in it?

Thanks for taking the time to put this on TH-cam. I picked up an Evenheat 3220 manual kiln yesterday from the local want ads and there doesn't appear to be much in the way of manuals and such, so a demonstration of something similar in real life is very helpful!

I Just bought a kiln with Kind of this Setup, instead of the 4 switches IT got 4 lamps(for wach heating) that engage after 75mim( IT says so in the Manual), will be interesting to See how IT works, dont know how high IT can fired tho, there is no Info Plate in the kiln
It’s hard to know isn’t it. Not a lot of info available. There must be a manual somewhere for your. Try the Facebook groups Clay buddies or pottery heads for help on the search if Google doesn’t give you what you need. I made a few errors in the video.

@@jacquieblondin it turnen out my electrics were not strong enough for the kiln, the fuse popped after 5 min of firing, I bought a New one with less kw/h, and Sold the old, now it works...
Thank you for making this. I picked up a very similar kiln used and had no luck finding a manual. I only wish mine also had the timer!

wow! Thank you soooo much. I just bought this exact model. Would also be interested in seeing a video on a glaze firing and the first Test firing (apply kiln wash)

This was great! It answered so many questions on the order of operation steps that I could not find in the manuals. What I didn't see was if the upper peephole was closed when the third switch was engaged.

Does that make your overall firing time less? I'm about to fire my first bisque in an evenheat 🤞
@@faatimaqureshi5464 I did a bisque fire yesterday. I switched up every hour and closed the lid and peeps after 2 hours. The entire firing was 5 hours.
Awesome video! I just bought a used kiln just like this one (my frist kiln ever) and I would also be interested in seeing a video on a glaze firing! Thank you! ^^
That’s my next TH-cam step!
Looking forward to seeing one!
That was great! Thank you! Can you post a video showing a glaze fire with this kiln?

Thank you so much for this! I just bought this exact model used and have been searching for a tutorial. Would you consider posting a similar one for a glaze firing?
Did you figure this out? I have the same kiln. I think the glaze firing would be the same process.
I second this! Did either of you figure out how to do a glaze firing with this kiln?
