The following is my respond to one of viewer's s crack question on my video#25:
"There is nothing to do with the string cut-off or throwing part. My way of avoiding S crack is to trim the bottom thin enough. How thin? I'd say about 1/8 inch. Also, dry your pots naturally instead of put them under the sun."
So far, if I trim the foot within the range of the 1/8” thickness, 99.9% of my pots are all perfect without crack. The problem is how can you tell the thickness of your bottom?
As of today, I have designed a set of ruler that can take care of the measuring process.
