[Clayart] Rough bisque

[Michael Wendt]

Hi Bob,
I buy 1/4" Teflon rods and cut them to a useful length. They flex easily and 
burnish the firm, leather hard clay surfaces to a glossy finish in the 
Giffen Grip. I also burnish the foot to a high shine since I need it to be 
smooth enough to print on.
My clay body is very smooth so I don't need to sand after glaze firing.
Come visit me if you want to see it in person. Unless you are in the 
southwest corner, Lewiston is within easy driving distance.
Regards,
Michael Wendt
