Fired the load yesterday.
14 hour kiln cycle …. cone 1 … around 2000 degrees
Unloaded this evening. NO TILE BREAKAGE …. first time EVER !!
NO Cracks or anything !! Think the p-clay is the clay for me to use ...........
Photo my first complete 6 panel set !!!
Never in over 8 trys have I been able to get all 6 to survive.
Even when firing mutliple sets one would always break.

will brush on the bronze and acid tomorrow evening

Congratulations on the successful firing. Did you turn the kiln flat or leave it on its side?

I am waiting to see how you frame that 6 panel set. That will be special to see. I hope Peggy gets you straight up pretty soon.
