Transitions. When Will It End?!

Whilst this project was technically over a few weeks ago I have been working on it on a smaller scale along side the current project (Otherwise Unobtainable).

At the moment I have cast (but not cold worked) the three with the palest saturation at 5%, 10% and 15%. 
5%
10%
15%
There's a few things that I'm not hugely pleased with and yet more amendments I am planning on making! The saturation of the 15% is almost identical to the test piece for 30%, so I'm worried that there won't be any gradient- let alone a smooth one! Hopefully I have enough clear glass left to do in between percentages for my last three (maybe 3%, 8% and 13%), I'll have to have a sit down and recalculate a few things!

Another slight problem is that the five percent didn't really work properly as far as fire polishing and a neat surface goes. 

Definitely not flat..
I'm not to sure why this has happened, the other two worked fine. Originally I didn't think it was too much of a big deal and I was planning on just redoing it but now that I have the wrong saturation problem I don't know if that's still possible. 

All I know is that I'm going to need a pen, some paper and a calculator to sort this all out!
