I used pi's a lot for a home entertainment system in the past and they crashed every now and then, at least once a week, where I have n...

Hi Adrian, I have built a controller for my kiln using an arduino, found it quite easy to code (processing based I believe), there are shields available to add wifi functionality, although I have not looked into that.

Just an idea, might it help to make a drop ring of equal size to the outer edge of the mold and put your glass on that for support as it starts to slump? Then it would probably not slide.

I was wondering if any of you have experience with this brand, it is a Chinese manufacturer of ceramic fibre blanket which I want to use for insulating of a kiln.

Does anyone know what material these are made of? All practical issues like wiring/control aside, are they able to reach fus...
