Hi Ellie
I have been looking for a fireing schedule for crysalline glaze
for my l&l kiln. I tried one that Laguna recomended and only got crystals
no bigger than 1/8 of an inch. It seems that the hold at 1900 deg. for
three hours is the secret, but does cooling at a very slow rate after that
stage have much to do with it. RR 's recipes all need to cool slowly to get
best results and i figure that probably holds true here also. Can you
recomend some good reading on the subject of crystlline glaze work.Thanks
for any info. you can give
to me.

Also thhanks for the IFB source help I will give them a try. Thats going to
save some serious mulah.!!!!!
