Bubbles ?

Bubbles ?

I’m not sure if the actual term when the glaze has small bubbles I applied 3 coats of mars crystal glaze I think it’s amaco the glaze looks really nice however it does run I’ve noticed but my question is why does it bubble I’ve read that clays with grog have a higher tendency to burn off stuff making the glaze bubble from gases trying to escape but I use porcelain idk I like this glaze and my test came out not good I don’t know if there are any tricks to prevent this (I also only glazed the top 3/4 of the piece it runs a lot)

Glaze

I have been doing pottery for about 6 years in the last two I have started taking it seriously sitting at the wheel every two days at least I am really getting tired of painting on my glaze and just want to get a large bucket to dip the piece into the glaze however I recently got a clear dip glaze cone 6 and it crawled and separated came out really rough looking I have been looking at glazes on glazy but just don’t really want to invest in a 5 gallon bucket of glaze just to keep getting these results what should/can I do with future dip glazing I definitely need a clear glaze but want to experiment with other glazes (if yall have any cool recipes for like a blue/ jade green crackle glaze or a glaze that naturally crazes I would love that)
