Seeing as how Craig Martell hasnt jumped in on this one yet, I will offer HIS words of advice to me a few years ago.... BISQUE hotter and slower. Gotta get the gunk out. A good clean hard bisque goes a long way toward eliminating pinholes.
cheers,

Tony,
Miller 510 is one of my standard studio bodies. I've never had a problem
with any of my glazes pinholing when used over it, but then, I don't know
anything about your friend's glazes or firing methods.
I also fire to a hard cone 10, and the only heads-up I would give him is
that is the extreme upper limit of that clay...perhaps if he went over to
11 the clay is becoming overvitrified.
So, don't know, can't say, just my thoughts...
Best,
Richard Aerni

Thanks to all you responded on the clay question.
Expecially a big thanks goes out to Laguna for sending out a Laguna
representative who came to my booth at the Cambridge Pottery Festival and
answered my question. Talk about service!!!!!!!!!
Thank you.
