Term Details
Term:	Bloating
Subcategory:	Technical
Definition:	Bloating is a type of firing defect in which blisters are created inside the clay body. The result of bloating is a series of lumps on top of the surface. Bloating is due to the expansion of gases inside the clay due to too much early reduction (which causes carbon coring), too much fast bisque firing, and extending the firing process for too long.
