Yes, there are schedules for many glasses in the book.

I've always used a shelf because I don't like the expense or smell of the paper, but it will work fine.

Thanks Brock. I was concerned that it would remove too much heat, or worse crack the plate.

No, you'll be fine.
You can open, take a look and close and you'll only lose 50 degrees, or so.

I think observing safety precautions is a good idea. However, I didn't know any better and looked in my kilns daily for over 20 years. I'm not recommending it, but sometimes dangers are exaggerated to ensure compliance.

Looking briefly at slumping temps is no problem.

I've attended the Pilchuck Auction for 22 years, besides supporting various charities and causes here in Vancouver for longer. In all that time and all those events I do know of one artist whose career took off from the publicity. One . . .

Absolutely not.

I said, if you need more heat add it . . .
There are various problems associated with higher temp slumps, including devit.

This is not just slumping a small plate. This is slumping 6 small depressions inside a slump. The size of the depressions mandates a long slow slump.
Higher temperatures lead to improper slumping, hang-ups and possibly devit.

The smaller the span, the longer it takes to slump. Watch it, and if you have to raise the temp, then do. Keep notes on this firing.

You can use Bullseye and Spectrum schedules interchangeably.

With a healthy homage to David Reekie . . .

. . . Well, as I said, I measure hand-sanding time by movie, and a movie is anywhere from 1.5 to 2 hours or so. So a two-movie piece probably took 4 hours. ;-)

Hmmm . . . I measure airline travel by movies.
Vancouver-New Zealand is 6 movies and 4 rugby games.
Love those hakas . . .

Looks like it. It's all about volume . . .

Looks like not enough glass. Were your strips very thin?

Increase the time rather than the temp.
A right angle slump over a mild takes time.
LOOK!

HEY! Watch the language there, Fracture Boy . . .

Totally agree Valerie. It's like breaking a sculptural float glass piece, then saying you like the break. It's an evasion, it's dishonest, and ultimately cheapens your work.

. . . piecing back together a broken object . . . not a window. Figure it out.

There is a long history of re-leading broken pieces in stained glass.
That has nothing to do with the subject of this thread.
