it depends on your clay body, but if you haven't tried this already i
suggest leaving a few untouched to dry naturally and see what happens. I
used to take a lot of time to cover them and dry them very slow, then one
time i didn't do anything and they all came out fine.
if you have already tried this and it didn't work, you can wait until the
rims get close to leather hard and then cover to dry slow, so as to even
out the drying process.
