New Kiln - glass cracking
I've recently purchased a Paragon GF kiln after two years firing with Quick Fire kilns. I'm trying to figure out at what stage I messed up two fires. I've had one that worked on smaller pieces in the new kiln. Bulleseye COE 90 glass on all glass except Austin Thin Films 90 Tye Dye accents Base layer...
