Look. There is nothing anyone can do for you, except direct you to the =
Archives and the books. Crazing =3D the glaze shrinks more than the =
clay body does. Having said that, there are many remedies, but if you =
are using commercial glazes then the best bet is to talk to your =
supplier and say "Yo, you sold me A body and B, C, D glazes, and the =
glazes all craze." If you cannot "fix" the glaze, because you do not =
have raw materials, and do not know what is in the commercial glaze--big =
time DUH.
Instead of "firing" you kiln give yourself a little kick in the butt. =
Pottery is not something one exposes oneself to for the day and comes =
home with a sunburn. Get a few books, my recommend being Harry =
Fraser's "Glazes for the Craft Potter" available at The Potters Shop. =20
Go to the PL and pick up a few thorough how to pottery books. Read 'em =
and get back to us...
