Hi Brian,

Slow cooling is absolutely necessary for most of the glazes in our book -
certainly they will not look the same with normal cooling - you have to
read the section on slow cooling.

Just a matter of giving the crystals a chance to form.

I have never heard of any materials that have the same name coming from
different mines - send me a list of the materials you are using and perhaps
I can confirm if the materials could be part of the problem.
