new AIM 84J help needed
Posted: Sat Mar 06, 2004 10:37 am
I just received my new AIM84J and am anxious to get started. Directions seem a little sketchy. (I have been using a Paragon SC2 to fuse my dichro cabs which is digital). My questions are:
1. With the infinite controller with a dial to 1 - 10, how do you know the rate or degrees per hour (besides the pyrometer)
2. Any suggestions on how to "hold" at a particular setting (is there a number on the dial that works best or does temp keep climbing?)
3. Since it doesn't turn off, any suggestions on an easy or portable timer to use?
4. If anyone else uses this kiln, is there a firing schedule you might suggest that I start with?
5. I ordered the bracelet mold from one of the sponsors of the board, Future Forms, but there were no directions. Can anyone help me with the final/forming phase?
