Hi Elizabeth. I don't think that would make any difference, because the
clear glaze is going to have minimal effect on the glass. The glass is stil=

going to craze very badly, and the craze cracks are going to come right up
through the clear glaze, and there will still be the chance of glass shards
coming loose.
