slump schedule for colour de verre mold
I just got a new Colour De Verre ring and heart mold and some new Bullseye coarse frit. I was dying to try it out. I figured, for a change, I'd follow the directions. They give a schedule of
350 1250 10
MAX 1420-1440 10-20 minutes
MAX 960 30-60
60 700 0
My regular slumping schedule is
350 1000 0
1000 1420-1440 30-60 minutes (depending how slumped I want it)
Max 1000 8
300 950 20
So I have two questions.
Why do they recommend so short of a slump time?
Why do they recommend so long of a cool time?
Since I usually leave them in the kiln I have a gradual cool down anyway. But 60/hr to 700 takes forever.
The short slump time left the pieces unfused.
I'm going to bump them up but I'm trying to imagine how this is a useful schedule.
