RECOMMENDED FIRING OF COSMOS GLAZES
While these glazes can produce crystalline effects with no special schedules, using a controlled cooling schedule can increase crystal growth. In addition, the chemistry of these glazes makes them prone to pinholing. Amaco suggest a couple of ways to counter this:
1) Use on a narrow neck or closed form and DO NOT glaze inside to allow gases to escape through the unglazed area.
2) If the inside and outside of the piece is glazed, we recommend the following firing schedule:
