Hi there,

a few months ago we purchased a used jigger machine. We really like it
but are having a problem with air bubbles being caught on the bottom of
pots, against the plaster mold. The plates and bowls are looking great
from the top but when you flip them over they need lots of repair work.
Does anyone have any suggestions for eliminating these bubbles? Another
problem we have are folds of clay on the bottom of the pots. I've tried
slowing down the jiggering and wetting the plaster substantially but the
folds are still there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
