Nicky S Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Loaded kiln for one fire porcelain to reach 1240. At around 350 degs realized I had forgotten to put some beads that I meant to fire So opened kiln gingerly ..... Will this seriously affect the rest of my firing Yikes !!!

Babs Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 You get the beads in??? Prob not but hope the beads were very dry or they may explode.... Top or front loader? Depends also if there was a big drop in temp. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilestrick Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 The rest of the work will be fine. The beads could blow up. Even bone dry pots have a little bit of moisture in them. Next time let the kiln cool down before putting pieces in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 If they blow expect attachments to your glazed pieces andvacuum kiln thoroughly, element and chanels esp Let's k now how you got on. Really worth cooling in this type of situation as Neil said , a lot at stake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
