I am brand new to slumping bottles and love it. Can anyone help me.....one of the bottles...a grey goose...did not flatten enough at the bottom. Can they be refired? At the same temp.? Thank you so much.

fire away ,maybe knock up the temp a wee bit or soak a bit longer.you could always have a peek in at top temp and see if its flattening as much as you'd like

you may have to slow down a bit. note that your bottle now may have a thicker place than it was, and thick glass takes longer to get up to temp. going too fast may thermal shock it.
