I ran out of wine bottles and was going to fire an already slumped one but really wanted to slump on to the mold with an un-slumped bottle to see how it works
Found one today .... so its in the kiln now running the following schedule
seg 1 300/hr 1360 hold 20
seg 2 300/hr 1465 hold 10
seg 3 full 960 hold 60
seg 4 100 825 hold 0
so we will see what will happen - I took this from another schedule for a tile /bottle slump so I hope the slow rise and fall will be ok
I made the original ceramic tile with a low fire clay 1800 deg and as long as you dont go over that it should hold up
sprayed it with Boron Nitride (twice - as its not been covered before they suggest spray the usual way - wait 5 min and spray again)
I placed the bottle on the mold and my neck set up - and away she goes ......
I took this already slumped off my mold and replaced with a regular wine bottle - so its in slumping now - will post later when cooled
