Boro - Flame Striking vs. Kiln Striking (pros/cons?)
Another thread asked about flame striking boro, and I got to thinking that it would be nice to have a list of the pros and cons of each way to strike boro colors.
I understand that with flame striking you pretty much know that it will look the same coming out of the kiln later on.
I have also heard that kiln striking generally allows you to more efficiently strike colors that are deep within a piece, so you don't have to hold a piece in the flame for an additonal 30 minutes to develop the color.
What are the other pros and cons of each method?
