results of last experiment

okay... this was the exact schedule.

ramp temp
353 338 hold 4
246 1032 hold 14
9999 1244 hold 13
9999 1047 hold 36
116 953 hold 26 (shotgun anneal because several types of glass in kiln)
200 700 off

and it did a good job only on the draping part. Also nearly perfect for creating a wallpocket shape from an orangina bottle on its side (actually, 5 min longer or a smidge hotter would probably be even better. Not hot or long enough for much else though. Even the system 96 tack wasn't "deep" enough for my liking -- e.g. edges on the little piano keyboards not really rounded etc. The upright bottles didn't change a bit!

The ramps were slightly higher than I remembered -- I guess at the last minute I threw caution to the breeze... but nothing broke. Still, I'm putting most of the stuff back in and am definitely going slower but higher this time. This time I'm also trying the soft turquoise bottle glass (the value village bottle that had gone into a complete puddle at my usual bottle slumping temp) broken into chunks in the mask mold.

today's redo
