Hi all,
I'm hoping for some practical advice to improve glazing my rims on mugs, bowls, pitchers, etc. I thought I had this figured out but my success ratio is not improving.
I'm getting pin-holing still where the crystalline glaze overlaps the liner--not all over but in spots. (I have a twenty minute hold at top temp). I thought the problem was being caused by a glaze thickness issue (too thick liner) from dipping the rims after I'd glazed the insides of the pots (or the reverse order) so I've tried fettling, or dipping the piece in one go then sponging off excess on exterior where I use my crystalline glazes. I tend to leave about 3-5mm of liner down the outside of the pieces then put crystalline over 2-3mm of this.)
I don't think it's a glaze composition problem but glazing procedures with crystalline.
Maybe I don't need to put liner on the rims or over the rims? What do others do?
Really welcome all advice/suggestions.
