I just checked a bowl I made with an intricate pattern of slip dots and it has a small crack on the edge, your tip probably would have prevented it. I patched it, but my experience with cracks is that patching never works.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-46907603112358127052010-11-10T07:41:29.295-05:002010-11-10T07:41:29.295-05:00Linda, great tips, one more that I have found inva...Linda, great tips, one more that I have found invaluable, cover/wrap your creations with bath towels when you are drying them. The wicking action of the terrycloth pulls moisture from deep inside the clay to the outside, thus evening out the moisture during the process, way less cracking, etc. When you check items, towel will be cool with the moisture wicked into it, but no nasty condensation like with plasticPaulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06059886209150115737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-90300005157422891992010-11-10T06:43:56.652-05:002010-11-10T06:43:56.652-05:00Hey, I found a couple I didn't know!...
