On a personal note, submitting one's glazes to a PhD with time on his
hands and a good microscope feels a bit like Monica in front of the
independent counsel. Maybe your glazes look good at 400X, but mine are
embarrassing. Bubbles, patches of unmelted stuff, unmixed gobs, etc. But
knowing the problem is the key to its solution.

Good stuff. Keep it coming=21=21=21=21 Things to really think about =
contained in
that posting. Some parts certainly are more applicable to industrial
applications....... but some real solid info that can be extrapolated to
studio ceramics.

Thanks for sharing it Jeff.

Best,
