Temperature to round edges only

I would like to first fire some single sheets of regular bullseye to just round the edges before slumping them in molds, can you tell me a balol park temperature to be looking to slop the processing?

ML, I would think it would depend on the glass, thickness and your kiln. Your going to have to experiment. To save money, just cut small circles and watch it.
On a single thickness of BE in my kiln to round off the edges, I go to 1450.

It's gonna vary from kiln to kiln. Check around 1300 - 1350. Brock

In my kinl (a Paragon gl24) I go AFAP to 1480 and then shut the kiln off.
