My friend learned this the hard way last month, actually. She spent weeks on this beautiful vase, only to have the glaze crackle and pull away from the rim in the kiln (it was a total heartbreaker). It's exactly what mila_wright is talking about, skipping that small test because you're so sure it'll work. Now she has a "test tile first" sticky note right on her kiln.

Seeing that glaze crackle must have been rough. The 'test tile first' rule is key because even small changes can ruin everything. I always double-check my steps on big projects to avoid heartbreak like that. How did she fix the vase, or was it a total loss?
