{"product_id":"kemper-dipping-tongs","title":"Dipping Tongs","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeavy plated steel construction means these tongs handle repeated immersion in glazes without corroding or weakening over time. Four sharp gripping points contact your work at minimal surface area, leaving barely visible marks that sand smooth before firing, far cleaner than the finger smudges or drips that plague hand-dipping. The 12-inch overall length (7½-inch body, 4½-inch handle) provides reach for deeper glaze buckets while keeping your hands clear of the liquid surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDipped plastic handles maintain secure grip even when wet, crucial when you're maneuvering a freshly glazed piece toward the drying rack. The pointed grips adapt to various forms: bowls, vases, sculptural pieces with irregular surfaces. You control the angle and depth of immersion precisely, achieving consistent coverage from rim to foot without the awkward repositioning that causes runs and uneven coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional ceramicists and production potters rely on dipping tongs to maintain glaze quality across multiple pieces. The minimal contact points mean less touch-up work before firing, and the sturdy steel withstands the repetitive stress of production glazing sessions. Clean them between glaze types to prevent contamination, and they'll serve through countless kiln loads.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kemper","offers":[{"title":"tongs","offer_id":47973598298341,"sku":"57169","price":18.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/kemper-dipping-tongs","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
