Satin look fire polishing

[Havi]

What is the optimal temp. for satin finish fire polishing???
I am looking for a finish which is not a glossy shine, but the glass has some vague gloss....

Will this help flatten [erase?] light marks of the brush when the shelf was kiln-washed?

Thanks in advance,

Havi

I hesitate to give you an exact temp. because it depends on a few things: First what glass? BE, 96, or other..... Second.. what colour?.. black glass will go past the satin stage and start to shine while white glass is just nicely satin...(other colours respond variously as well).. Third how long to hold at top temp. (there is a very fine line between "enough" and "too much" hold time).
Having said all that the range is in the 1180F too 12ooF between 5 to 10 min. I do suggest you test for optimum results!
I do think the act of sandblast then satin firing will soften you troubling brush marks.

Thanks, Don,
For your response, and consideration.
All I can say is, that I work with BE, it is red wafer on BE 1101 [transparent], and I will not hold you responsible, for my mistakes.
I need a starting point, from which I shall be very watchful to see the exact result I want - and learn from that.

Could you please say at least, between 718c [in your Fahrenheit numbers] and XXXX,

I'd be grateful!
