a firing schedule

Just wanted to preserve the latest and greatest kiln schedule... gradual enough to work in my kiln for the refiring of bottles that have already been flattened and have varying thicknesses -- long and slow ramping of the anneal range to work with bottles and with any system 96 pieces that happen to be in there (full fuse/blob one or two layer ones anyway -- I haven't tried this with anything thick). Seems to bubble squeeze and keep quite a bit of bottle devitrification at bay...... the numbers may look weird but they work!

..........rate /hour .......degrees.............hold
1.............450............327.............7
2. .............374.............1049..........25
3...............250 ..........1262............ 33
4. as fast as possible.......1396............34
5. as fast as possible.......1048...........58
6..............114 .............885 ............. 8
7. .............300 ............. 300 ...........
