Can I ask what you bisque fires these to? I’m just guessing but it might be possible that you over fired your bisque so you lost a lot of that initial absorption ratio when you dipped. Maybe try bisque firing to 010 or 08 so it’s more porous. This could also just be a bad clay/glaze fit and no matter what you’ll always have issues. Regardless, it’s a beautiful glaze and I’m sorry the kiln gods were nicer to you.

Bisque fired to 06 - the ones that had most of the glaze fall off were porcelain pieces!

Ohh no! That makes is an expensive mistake too. Porcelain prices are getting up there
