I've read all about the bisque firing. How soon can I unload a
glaze firing? I've been unloading at 200 and haven't seen any
problems but I have only used three glazes so far.--

200 degrees celcius is ok any higher you may have quartz inversion cracking
especially on platters.
it should not affect any glaze
