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.
