    I am having a problem with a sort of yellow cloudiness in my
    enamels.  When you look at it under a loupe it looks like little
    bits of yellowish scum (for lack of a better word) suspended in the
    enamel.  I'm using Thompson enamels and a Neycraft kiln.  I get the
    same results on copper and silver.  It is barely noticeable in the
    first firing, but builds up with subsequent firings, so that by the
    time a piece has been fired 4 or 5 times it really begins to affect
    the colors.  Anyone else experience this, or have any ideas about
    what it is? Thanks, Susan
