You may be pulling them too dry. Porcelain, as you may have found out =
already is
very reactive to water -- melts fast, with too much moisture and cracks fast
with too little. Also has one heck of a memory and reverts back to it's own
mindset easily.
Try not to =22work=22 your handles too much, and you'll probably do fine. =
Also, be
sure you have enough slurry and have scored the attachment area well when =
fixing
pieces together. Once you get the hang of it, it'll be a snap, just like =
when
you were working with your stoneware. You'll love working with that creamy
smooth stuff.........
Pam, in Seattle. Rainy and chilly, mid 40-s these days. Whew.
