Hey this was so helpful! Your work is beautiful and I’m happy to be learning from you. Thank you. I’m finishing up some pots from a raku workshop I attended recently. I do have a question about timing. The first few I did, I sprayed with the fix then waited an hour then waxed. Then will probably spray with the gloss tomorrow. Does that sound right?
@@JulieLerman Hey there! So glad you like my work and the video was helpful! Yes, that all sounds pretty good. For timing you may want to add a little of time in between those steps just so things can set a bit more. If you look at the drying details for each of the items it typically says how long that before touching/handling each piece after application. But generally yes! You’re right on track👍🏼
Thanks for sharing ; in your experience, how long dos the smoke print lasts? Is it recomendable to add some more uv protection and wax every one and then? Thanks.
Hey, there! Left untreated and in regular/direct sunlight the patterning would begin to notably lighten within a month or so. But if it is treated with a fixative, wax and especially the UV coating they should last for quite a long time. I have been using this method now for over a year and have not had any bad fading happen. That being said, I do recommend keeping these sorts of pieces out of direct sunlight just to help protect them. As yes, you can add more UV protective coatings afterward in the future.
@@leonibenzaken2581 Hi there! Yes, the product I alluded to is called Liquid Quartz. That is a fancy, best working option, I’d think. But you could also use ceramic sealants, like a floor polish or something else in that nature.
@@dneufeld62 Hi there! Yes, that is correct. All three on one pot. I’m also going to be experimenting with using ceramic floor tile polish on my next batch, which has potential to make some parts of the polishing process even quicker.

This is great! Thanks!
I wouldn't expect the top coat to stick well over the Ren wax..
You mentioned being able to make the inside water proof with products from the hardware store. What products would that be? It would be a huge help.

just to clarify- you use all 3 treatments on one pot? thanks! beautiful work
