Minimum temperature needed to get reaction

Before I run a bunch of test sample in my kiln this week (and since I'm stuck at my desk and away from my studio and the question is burning a hole in my brain)...

Can someone tell me the lowest temperature that French Vanilla and Dense White will start to react at? I'm trying to tack fuse and am curious if I will get any reaction between 1375F and 1400F?

Also, my understanding is the reaction will deepen with longer times and/or hotter temps - but correct me if I'm mistaken. So would holding longer at 1375F give me a stronger reaction?

Thanks much
Cindy

As some people have found, each result will be a bit different according to the conditions of ones studio practice and kiln. My advise would be to experiment and see what happens in your kiln. I would think that time AND/OR temperature would give you the answers you are looking for.
