Oh my, I laughed so hard. Thank you for being such a fantastic inspiration!!! I've been experimenting with rocks and metals imbedded in clay, thanks to you. Had some epic failures but I loved every step of it. Your wit is awesome. Thank you!
Oh man! I laughed at the tiles to prevent a catastrophe but I do feel your pain. That shelf took a bath on that crusty enamel. Maybe next time you’ll research the temperature at which those are baked? Even though I like it when you experiment lol
This inspired me to do some quick youtube searching... Seems like most enamels are powdered glass that's baked near 1200-1500 degrees for minutes at a time... So yeah... :D
Thanks for the laugh! If you ever figure out how to actually do this, let me know. I have a favorite Le Crouset Dutch oven that is on its last leg. I have to say, when you said cone 6 I suspected this result.
You need to use a lower temperature. 1450-1500°F should be good. "I have to say, when you said cone 6 I suspected this result." - Yeah. I mean that's the iron's melting temperature for God's sake...
Nice, the touch-up areas blanded nicely, I can't see them anymore.
In your defense, I think you created a pretty good match from the original and touch upped areas...

Omg, my jaw dropped. Cool experiment!
but whyyyyyy lol. I was so excited until I heard “we hit 2160º”. then I was confused. then I was sad. such a range of emotions 😂
Interesting experiment. I will not be repeating it. Thanks.
Thank god for those little tiles, this could have been a disaster.
Oh my, what a mess! I hope you'll be able to rehabilitate your kiln shelf. I would have been crying...😥
Chisel off the remaining glaze with a needle scaler and season it like regular cast iron.

Here's a video or two for the curious...

What a rare treat. Excellent video. ❤
Condolences on the shelf.
Awesome experiment... Now I know what not to try!
Id love to see another experiment glazing a raw cast iron pan. I guess you need a low fire glaze?
You basically need enamel, whose firing temperature is around 1450-1500°F.
Im sorry but I laughed so hard! One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time ;))))))))
If you must fail, then fail in the most Epic way possible!
Did you try cone 05?
You fired it way too hot. Most of these vitrious porcelain enamel glazes are around 1,400 degrees F.
Do you know how to make the correct glaze to do this from bare cast?
Found it from the name you are awesome been looking to glaze cast for years!!!
Figure out how to enamel a $20 Lodge cast iron pan and chefs will beat a path to your door!
This one cracks me up.
Me at 1:10: 😨 Jesus but regardless you sir are a pioneer thank you for trying
This is hilarious, sad, & not what I was expecting 😂
Thank for the laugh. I needed that. 😂😂
Glad I could help. :)

I would say it might have worked at 800-1000 degrees not 2160!
Mmmmm.. Forbidden cake!
looks like the glaze ran a little
But on the plus side...
yeah... way too high. Too bad since it could have been done at a lower temp.
Perfect test! LOL
Nothing but some hot soapy water and a brillo pad would not fix!
Cast enamel is low fire super fluxed glaze
I think you left it in there for way too long and it burned all the enamel
Ahhhhh!
Oops
🤣🤣🤣
