Second pot melt stuck

Well the pot melt I did last night stuck. Blue and white Bullseye the same 11/ 12 coats of wash, (I'm using Paragon high fire wash that came with the kiln). The first one did fine, same wash, same schedule. I was going to take a picture but my camera battery died. Got the shelf upside down right now hoping it all comes off. Lots of fine cracks because of the sticking. I anneal like all my pieces of the same size. Full to 960 hold 35 to 45 min., 140 to 700 deg., off. I did take it back up to 1650 after the melt was done (read this in an older post) to smooth it out and get rid of bubbles. Maybe I should have done this step in a second firing. Maybe I can use the glass in another melt if I can get the wash off.
