I am leaving for Colorado to teach a couple of classes but when I return I will take a photo of the boat.

That should work great for soft glass too. If soft glass is sticking to boro in the kiln it's WAAAAAAAAAAAYYY to hot.

p.s. don't forget to name it.
Or if you have a pair of those black kevlar gloves, just reach in and grab it. I've done that quite a few times...
