Why use slow bisque over fast bisque? Is it just a moisture issue?
Slow bisque is the safest to use and ensures a better firing to get out carbonaceous materials so you don't get outgassing during your glaze which will cause pitting in your glazes. For very thin work or for certain clays you can use the Fast Bisque - or if it just works fine for you. Start with Slow Bisque and experiment later.
