Week 7 Readings
5. Joining, drying, and preventing failures (cracks/warping)
5.1. 2-minute Practice: Join strength test (mental checklist)
Write 3 bullets:
-
Where is the most likely join failure point in your form?
-
What visible sign would warn you early?
-
What action will you take to strengthen it?
REVEAL (Example)
Failure point: coil joins around the shoulder/neck transition.
Early warning: hairline cracks forming as it dries.
Action: score + slip + compress both sides; keep thickness even; slow drying with light covering.
