FAQs

Can I use this with thick clay slips?

This tool is designed for thin liquids and glazes. If your slip is too thick, it may clog the needles; try thinning it with water first.

How do I identify the needle sizes?

The needles are color-coded to distinguish between the four different diameters, allowing for easy identification during your work.

Are the needles dishwasher safe?

It is recommended to hand wash all components to ensure the delicate needles remain in optimal condition and do not lose their shape.

What should I do if a needle gets stuck?

Use the included dredging needles to gently push through the opening to clear any dried material that may be causing an obstruction.

Is the silicone bulb durable?

Yes, the bulb is designed for repeated use in pottery studios, provided it is cleaned properly after each use.

Can I use these for icing or other crafts?

While intended for ceramic glazes, the set can work with other thin, fluid substances, provided they are not food-grade materials.

Troubleshooting

Glaze or slip is not flowing smoothly.

Check the needle for dried material and use one of the 18 included dredging needles to clear the blockage.

The applicator is dripping while in use.

Ensure the needle is tightly attached to the bulb base and avoid squeezing the bulb too hard before you are ready to apply.

The bulb feels difficult to squeeze.

Check that the needle size is appropriate for the viscosity of the liquid; if the glaze is too thick, thin it down with a small amount of water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent control for fine detailing and writing on clay.
  • Color-coded tips make switching between line weights efficient.
  • Soft silicone bulb reduces hand fatigue during long decorating sessions.
  • Comprehensive kit includes everything needed for maintenance and filling.
  • Lightweight construction provides better maneuverability.

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-viscosity materials or thick clay slips.
  • Requires thorough cleaning immediately after use to prevent drying.
  • Small parts require careful storage to avoid losing needles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, use the included funnels to carefully pour your thin glaze or slip into the silicone bulb, taking care not to overfill to avoid pressure issues. Attach the desired color-coded needle firmly to the base. After each session, disassemble the needle and the bulb. Use the provided dredging needles to push through the nozzle tip, ensuring no residue is left inside to harden. Rinse the silicone bulb thoroughly with warm water and allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling for your next project.
