<p>Hi:</p>
<p>Not at all. The glazes work very well on red stoneware. I am using Plainsman M-390. Just posted some examples.</p>

Brian, thanks for that info. I spent two years figuring out why I was having pinholing with other clays and don't want to repeat that.

<p>Diane, I've used a number of different type of stoneware bodies including Laguna B-Mix, Amaco Warm Brown Stoneware, and others. Have had many problems with pinholing especially which the Stontium Crystal Magic and cobalt carbonate and cobalt oxide colorants in the mix. I think I'm resigned to moving to porcelain now to try and combat these problems which cause a high percentage of pots that I have to take a hammer to. Just trying to save you the pain.

<p>Diane, I've used a number of different type of stoneware bodies including Laguna B-Mix, Amaco Warm Brown Stoneware, and others. Have had many problems with pinholing especially which the Stontium Crystal Magic and cobalt carbonate and cobalt oxide colorants in the mix. I think I'm resigned to moving to porcelain now to try and combat these problems which cause a high percentage of pots that I have to take a hammer to. Just trying to save you the pain. Brown clays have a high iron content and other impurities that are likely to cause outgassing to occur and Steven Hill's glazes tend to accentuate that. Plus colors are much more muted than on a white clay body. I'm doing tests with several different porcelain clay bodies now but tend to think that porcelain will help. FYI</p>
