cracking in reduction firing

HELP!!! I do cone 9-10 reduction firing and there have been some
problems. I have been experimenting with some different glaze recipies
and have had little sucsess. I have been using V.C.'s Wild Wonder and
Ned Coleman's Purple, two glazes that I really love. Everything that I
put them on comes out broken. I mix up my own clay body, for the most
part. Does anyone use these glazes on a basic stoneware body and if so do
you have these problems? I have been told that there is a glaze fit
problem, so can anyone tell me how to remedy this problem. Last semester
I had a 30% loss, and that really hurt. Any info. on this would be
greatly appreciated. Thank You Jennifer in Alpine
