I use several color variations of this glaze and for me pinholing
only occurs when the glaze is too thick. I do not layer these...they
only go on the exterior of a vessel with a white liner inside or on
yard art. I also place this glaze in the hottest part of my kiln
(for me it is the center section) and make certain that it is a hot
cone 6.
good luck.

Heidi,
Thank you for sharing your experience...I'll try to fire it a bit hotter
in a load of its own. Some of the other glazes I use need a bit less
heatwork so I may have to seperate the lkiln firings.
