Thanks for the welcome and the insight, Carrol. I'll be looking

last May have surface hairline cracks and I'm wondering if that is
because my portland was old. Thoough one of the ones I made quiet
some time ago began to have hairline surface cracks as well while
others that I made near the same time frame haven't so it may have
something to do with water or temperature. At any rate they are much
lighter so I'll just be working on refining the manufacturing process
to avoid the cracks.
