I've been up and filling my kiln up at 6am most mornings this week. I've got a couple of lovespoon orders to get through and things just seem to be going wrong. I did a batch of six spoons that I wanted to get done as soon as possible. I'd cut them all out and thought they were going to turn out good. In my attempts to try and speed things up a bit I thought to myself 'alcohol is drying, I'll clean them up with that before I put them in the kiln' So I put a bit of isopropynol on them. Big mistake. It left a residue on them that even after dremmelling it off and refiring twice again didn't get it off, wasted my time, effort and money and generally caused me a whole load of stress. The moral of the story; don't use alcohol! It is bad for you!!
