“I logged everything and still couldn’t tell whether the pinholes came from my bisque, my cooling curve, or the glaze thickness.”

What you bring

  • Glaze recipe or batch notes
  • Clay body and firing temperature
  • Ramp/hold/cooling schedule
  • What actually happened: crawling, pinholes, blistering, dull surface, color drift

What KilnPilot returns

  • Likely root causes ranked by confidence
  • The next variable to change first
  • A smallest-possible confirmation test
  • A saved diagnosis history you can reuse on the next firing
