What kind of "hold time" are you allowing while firing? And are you using cones in the kiln? I'm thinking that you may be firing too hot?

I believe she was putting them on low overnight then cranking them up by late morning. Cones in the kiln and the switch. The second glaze firing was at cone 05 (the first was cone 06). The overall finish was far better at one level hotter than Duncan specified (Duncan glazes).

I get bubbles if I fire too hot or apply the glaze too thick.

That's a possibility. I had three coats on the green guys and four on the other colors. The green came out better overall than the others.

Love the glaze on the far left!

Thankfully that was what I used on the majority of them. Better, but not great.

That's what I was thinking! Easter Island ads for Clearasil!
