Test: Take Two

This morning my cast from my second round of tests came of of the kiln. 
30% colour saturation.
I think the longer soak at a higher temperature (2.5 hours, 820°C) has definitely helped as whilst there are a few bubbles it is a definite improvement. It's little nobble off the top (from where the glass has ran in) has also smoothed out this time. 
Goodbye, bubbles. 
This afternoon I put the first three from my hopefully final casts into the kiln- which should be out on Wednesday- using the revised kiln program. They're also in the new and improved smaller moulds. Hopefully they come out just as bubble free and smooth!
