I have had the same problem with my pot too. I didn't expect it from the
B-mix. It's a bummer to say the least and what I can say on clayart.

Hi,

I'm a production potter who uses B-mix 5, about 600# a week. The
company I work for, Mill Creek Stoneware uses Laguna's MSD-29 clear
gloss at ^5 and^6. We have no crazing at all and no weeping. I hope
this helped.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your response. I am also using some of Laguna's glazes on these
pots. I like B-mix 5's throwing characteristics and have 600+ lbs sitting
in my studio (a month's worth for me). I'm wondering if you'd be willing
to share your firing schedule with me? Perhaps something there will help
me. Maybe I got a flaky batch. Who knows?

Thanks. You may e-mail me directly at the address below if you wish.
