• Apply it very thicker to get the snowflake effect. If any prefiring cracks forms after dipping, wash the glaze off . It would cause crawling defect during the firing
• This glaze will hard pan (Settles very quick). Add 0.1-0.2% Epsom salts to avoid hard panning of glaze
• Pinholing and Blistering might happen on dark clay bodies. Test it before going for the mass production
• Recommended to put Drop hold firing schedule to avoid pinholing and blistering

Safety Warning
