It will happen. I notice that you mentioned that you brought a Cone 5 slip. This slip fires quite a bit hotter than the cone 04 slip that Sir B and I are using...Cone 04 = 1940 degrees Fahrenheit...Cone 5 = 2185 degrees Fahrenheit. Just make sure when you buy glazes that you have them show you to the glazes that are compatible to your slip. These days they make quite a few colors for cone 5 - cone 6. Do you have your own kiln?
