Hey yall!
I recently was given a kiln, the Cress E-23. I have never fired my own work prior to this time, opting to drop it off at a studio because I did not have the wiring for a personal kiln.
I ran a successful bisque fire for the first time, and am wanting to do a glaze test this week. What is a good schedule for a cone 10 firing? Is it important to cool slowly? What knowledge can you share?
The schedules I have found (though scarce) are like this
SEG1 100/hr to 220 with a 1 hour hold
SEG2 300/hr to 2300 with no hold
SEG3 108/hr to 2361 with a 1 hour hold
