- Image wipes off after firing: Transfer firing too low, try again at a higher temperature. Porcelain Painters check the tutorial onfired-on.com for cone 018 temp firing info
- Image has faded after firing: Transfer firing temperature is too hot…use a lower temp.
- Image has cracks in it: Small microscopic crackling is normal but if you see large cracks or holes after firing, be sure to handle the film as little as possible by lifting the backing paper out of water bath with film still attached then slide film onto surface gently. Use a rubber roller “brayer” over a paper towel laid on top of the image then remove water and bubbles. Do not stretch the film when applying.
