You will want to take the 25 degrees off each step. This way you will have the temperature at each stage to get the results you want. Your hold time can stay the same however.

I did not understand segment 4. Is this your schedule going down? Could you just vent to 900?

Is there any way to get a glossy finish on the side of the glass slumped into a mold? Seems like I ought to be able to re-fire, but not sure how.

Thank you for your output

I would. This will help to get rid of any oxidation that has taken place as well as making all of the solder lines even.

Do you have to redo thelead lines if you haven't worked on it for a long time?

When glass casting in molds the finished surface is against the mold. This surface is not smooth like the exposed surface we typically think of as the finished surface. A book I would recommend is Glass Kiln Casting with Colour de Verre by Jayne Persico. It contains wonderfull information on casting such as mold prep and care as well as how to finish your piece.

I'm trying to flatten a bottle in the kiln. Any tips or suggestions for best results, like how to keep it in one place?

I purchased the fleur des les mold When I put the frit in the mold the top came out smooth, but the bottom which touches the mold had all of the impressions and it is rough how do I get the impressions on the front? I was going to turn it over and re-fuse the piece to see how that comes out. let me know thanks sharon cunningham
