I have been garaging and annealing my beads with a schedule I copied from another post but some beads have cracked and perhaps it has to do with my program. I have a program suggested to me that will work well with DH glass and silver glass but I just can't figure out the programming (just learning here)
I have a small AF3P Jen Ken with the 3 button controller. I only use Moretti Glass.
This is what I
want it to do:
Garage at 890 and hold for 8 hours
Ramp up to 920 in 15 minutes and hold for 1.5 hours
Ramp down to 800 for over 2 hours
Hold for 15 minutes and off.
OK, this is how I programmed it but I am not sure I've done it right and I'd hate to make some beads and discover them cracked or on the floor of the kiln as puddles of glass
Ra1 = FULL oF1 = 890 Hld1 = 8:00
Ra2 = 120 oF2 = 920 Hld2 = 1:30
Ra3 = 60 oF3 = 800 Hld3 = 0:15
Ra4 = 0000
Did I program it right?
