				Another problem with my beautiful blue/purple opal glass.  I fused the broken cirlcle with cut out pieces of a large Kokopelli playing his flute to a dicro. moon. I filled in the broken line with frit.  Well, it worked but needed to fill in one small point.  I got the great idea to cap this baby with clear, what I got was one giant bubble at the edge of the moon.  I fired 300dph to 1250 held for 3o minutes, AFAP to 1375 held for 1 hr. , ASAP to 960 hold for 30 minutes.  My guess is I ramped to fast, didn't hold long enough.... and go big bubbles.  My  
 is how hig do I have to fire to break the bubble???  Or any other suggestions, please... Yes I have checked with the archives.    Thanks in advance ,Pam,
