GROG pouring greenware like crazy to get all the orders filled, but only one Bob Shot mold makes it a bit slow going. You can only pour a few a day. You have to let your mold dry out between pours, or it degrades faster and you get fewer pieces out of it before it becomes unusable. GROG try and make a few more plaster molds today, but it takes a week for them to dry out before you can start using them to cast pieces.

Here's the main problem with some of the glazing on the Java Bobs. Runny Mascara eyes, and runny type. GROG has remedied the problem, and no longer has the problem when glazing Bob Shots, but GROG still have to go in and fix the Java Bobs.

GROG has had several people ask about the two bowls that didn't make it to Oasis. GROG took them with GROG to ceramic place where GROG get supplies, and they help GROG figure out what GROG doing wrong, so hopefully GROG not have this problem anymore in the future.

Glaze chipping off on the first bowl, and glaze "crawling" on the second. The second bowl already has the glaze touchups on the bowl, so you can't really see the prblem, but you can see where the problem was. Hopefully with some glaze touch ups and refiring these guys can be salvaged, too.
