Slumping question

I am having problems slumping a piece of glass in a rectangle shape using a fiberboard mold. As the middle of the glass starts falling, the sides start to buckle and get out of shape. The glass is float and I am slumping at 1275. Does anyone have any suggestions for slumping without having the sides buckle?
Thank you,
Sandra

try 1150 and just go slower. if it doesn't bend enough, bump by 10 degrees and wait some more. repeat if necessary.
