How do I fire china paints?

Troubleshooting: cracking/peeling

China paints must not be applied heavily, as this will cause cracking or peeling when fired.
All china paint colours do not reach maximum colour and brilliantly at the same temperature, even when they are fired on the same ware. It is important to know which colours to fire first to the higher temperatures so not to burn out the lower temperature colours.
