I took all of the pieces out of the kiln this morning, here’s a couple of the lion blocks nr. 1265 which turned out great;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The other pieces had some wierd issue I have to find out the cause of, meanwhile I came up with both a weight and size loss chart for the 3 lions;<\/p>\n

#1 dry weight: 7.80#
\n#2 dry weight: 8.00#
\n#3 dry weight: 8.05#<\/p>\n

Original model size as molded:<\/strong> 10″ x 4-1\/4″ ( 25.4cm x 10.8cm )<\/p>\n

Pressed clay dry weight size:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Length\/height: 9-1\/2″ ( 24.2cm )
\nWidth: 4-3\/8 ( 11.0cm )<\/p>\n

Fired weights:<\/strong><\/p>\n

#1: 7.00#
\n#2: 7.30#
\n#3: 7.40#<\/p>\n

Fired size:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Length\/Height: 8-15\/16″ ( 22.7cm )
\nWidth: 4-1\/16″ ( 10.3cm )<\/p>\n

I come up with a net shrinkage of 1″ in 10″ rounded out, and a loss of about 0.70 pounds from bone dry to fired, but actually the pieces started out around 10.50# which means about 3.30# of water and organic materials out of 10.50# are evaporated and burned out in the process, roughly 32% weight loss and 10% size loss.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
