Dear Dave Finkelnburg ,

You say <glaze crazes when you don't want it to and don't intend for it to =
craze?>>

Of course it is Dave, most acceptable. Same concept as applied to Weeds =
in the garden. Flowers which are beautiful in their own right but not =
tolerated in the wrong place and at the wrong time. You have just got to =
have a tidy front garden. No place for a buttercup or a dandelion.

Take note that when those fissures in your glaze are intended as a =
decorative element the name changes. It becomes Craquelle, or an =
anglicised version of the word ( Thank you Mr Hamer....)

Best regards and enjoy the festive season.

Ivor Lewis.
