I want to get into making glass chain. I'm confused as to how I keep the chain from breaking while I'm making a new loop. I'm assuming there is a way to do it outside of my kiln so that it doesn't take a gazillion years to make one chain. I read somewhere that keeping it on a piece of wood would slow down the cooling process. I'm still confused as to why I wouldn't need to keep the entire chain in the flame.

Thanks for any help you can provide. I haven't been able to find many helpful references online.
