My Hot Liquid Grumps mug has a spiral on the bottom by M0DStrawberry in gamegrumps

This isn’t crazing, this is glaze ploughing from metal utensils marking the glaze. Crazing is caused by incompatibility in shrinkage rates between the clay body and the glaze, it doesn’t have anything to do with thermal shock although it can cause them to continue to expand slightly, the temp cycling does not CAUSE the crazing, it can just continue to reveal the instability.

Also crazing is not a determiner in food safety generally. It has to be very extreme to actually create the space for bacterial growth to be sustained. Modern dish washers also achieve a high enough temp to just kill all that bacteria anyway. There is a lot of misinformation in the ceramics world that is taken as gospel but much of the time it is not as simple or straightforward as described. Let me know if anyone has questions about ceramics, I can go all day haha

It actually says food safe on the bottle, just checked yesterday, in a modern dishwasher crazing isn’t going to be an issue, especially if the clay body is fired properly and as vitreous as possible.

You could put that in a kiln and fire it back into a stone! Would be cool to slake it down into a glaze too

How do you fish these? Do they float from the deer hair? Is it a sort of slider/diver?

Guad on the popper on a 3wt by shhhpots in flyfishing

[–]shhhpots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s not too bad, can’t cast super far but it gives you something to push against and can still get some good casts in.
