I confess. I've been negligent in putting the temperature cones into the kiln when firing. I finally did it. You want the cone to bend like the first one. However that's on 05 and I'm firing at 06. My kiln is firing too hot. I still think the problem was dust but I need to install a new thermal couple. Meanwhile I will fire at 07 to cool it down. Kilns fire like this: 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 etc. So 07 is cooler than 06. Glazing. Glazing. Firing. Firing. The mugs go to so many locations as the work is done. Out of the kiln. Even with the lower temperature the same skips are showing up. Fire. Scrub. Glazing. Fire. Fire. Those having fired twice and looking pretty good now. After the first firing it's back to the glazing table. There's so much work to do however I am seeing the end coming closer. Wendy
