Re: Does this Firing schedule sound ok?

Hi Bert I've decided to increase my schedule in the 615 region and also up to fuse temp like you've suggested.

I've placed spacers at each corner to allow the metals to fuse in properly and prevent burnout. My question is do you think this firing schedule soun...
