Drop Ring - Kiln w/o a peep hole
Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2013 9:28 am
I'm preparing a project to go through a drop ring mold. The mold is a circle and I'm planning to use a clear base, clear topper and the middle layer if six pieces of colored glass that form a ciricle when pieced together. I've found a schedule to try but most of what I'm reading has folks looking through a peep hole. My Paragon kiln doesn't have a peep hole (16 x 16 x 6.25).
At what point do I open the kiln and I"m presuming I"m going to just lift the lid as little as possible see if I've dropped low enough and then shut the kiln back. If it's not dropped far enoug do I give it 30 seconds more, 1 minutes or what's a good time to check again?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
