Recently got the new smasher in, and everything is perfect. Except for his left hand wrist peg. The part of the peg that plugs into his arm will not budge. I got it to twist once with some terrifying effort. I know he comes with extra wrist pegs for this reason, but I’d really like to avoid snapping this one. Anyone experience the same?? I tried both heat and shock oil to no avail.
Sorry if this kind of post isn’t allowed. Figured yall know better than anyone
Only worry is the mileage, but I feel like the regular maintenance is a good sign that this bike has a lot longer to last despite the miles.
Been looking for a bike and this about fits my budget range, and it also has low enough miles that I’d be confident in riding it without it breaking down on me. Anyone have any thoughts?
Some of the pieces were more just for fun, but I figured I’d include them anyways.
I recently fired this dude and he came out with some minor cracks. Nothing catastrophic, but I would like to reinforce. I plan on using a mixture of broken up bisque fired clay, toilet paper, and vinegar, to create a mending paste. I would apply it and then put my glaze over top and fire him a final time. Is this a good idea?
I’ve currently got this guy in the kiln over the weekend bisque firing, and I’m in need of a glaze to make him look good. My ceramics teacher says that the clay is low fire and should be fired somewhere around cone 02, but I have no idea where to get glaze for cone 02 that actually looks interesting. My current options are solid color glazes and underglazes, but I’d like to explore my options because I really want this guy to pop. I’ve attached some pictures of glaze patterns that interest me, if that helps. The last picture was a bubble method using underglazes which I have been considering as well.
