samples

I forgot to show you the float samples in the last blog

                 and here are the detailed notes so I can identify the samples when they come out of the kiln

This one was devitrified

but this one was better

 Another unsuccessful firing and all the kiln wash stuck to the back of the glass, I am trying to remove it with white vinegar but it is stuck fast.  I think that they were fired at too high or for too long

 I am beginning to hate kiln wash.  Here I am scraping it off my kiln shelf before applying fresh but I have decided to use Thinfire Paper in future, it can only be used once but all you have to do is cut it to size, of course it is a more expensive option!
