nothing to laugh about.

i LOVE fake teeth. i think they make everybody laugh and are a good mood booster. but right now, nothing can get me to laugh. i am having the HUGEST glaze problem that i have ever had. i am getting tiny bubbles and blisters on the entire piece and i can’t figure out why. i’ve done 4 firings in my test kiln (5th one firing now) and all have been the same. it’s as if someone sprinkled sand on the entire piece. and this is the same method, the same clay and the same glaze i’ve been using for 15 years. i tried a new batch of glaze, changed the brush, applied a thinner coat of glaze, made sure there was no dust on the bisque ware, and still BAD. very bad. i’m at my wits end. and i’ve ruined a lot of custom orders . . . please bear with me. if i can’t solve this problem, i may have to change careers. no joke.
any ideas anyone?
