We'll need much more information about this glaze to provide an informed
response.
Will need to know what is in the glaze.
Any chance the glaze contains gerstley borate?

A little more information on what clay you are using
and the glace recipe would help
And when you mix the glaze do you add any additives to the water
is the water out of the tap
is the water softened?
Thank you,

Hi Dot,
Could be the water - best thing to do is send me the recipe (
ronroy@ca.inter.net) and I'll see if I can revise it to stop doing that.
It might be the simplest solution.
