How do I avoid pinholes ?

Prevent trimming pinholes

Glaze pinholes often form in areas that have been trimmed, as trimming tends to open holes in the surface. To prevent, slightly burnish the trimmed area with a stone or spoon, while still on the wheel, or rub the slip from throwing over the area to fill the holes.
