Pot melt problem
I tried pot melting for the first time.  I used a small terracotta pot and a recommended firing schedule.  When it was done there was melted glass in the pot and a stream of glass connecting the bottom of the pot to the glass in the mold below.  What caused this?  I really need help.  Thanks.

That's normal.  You needed more heat and more time.

Got a peep hole?  One quick glance will tell you whether it's done or not.
