Attached the base to the large slab vase.
Unloaded the Bailey glaze kiln – good reduction firing.
Formed slab vase for customer order. Will add the base when slabs stiffen.
Fired the Bailey glaze kiln in 10 hrs. 43 minutes with 30 minutes reduction at the end. Used 11 % propane at maximum 8″ water column gas pressure.
Seems to be firing more efficiently ever since I set the damper so the bottom peephole had a slight flame exiting instead of a neutral flame damper setting that I previously used. Measured the optimal rate of temperature climb at various pressure conditions to come to this conclusion.
Rolled out 2 – 21″ x 31″ x 3/8″ Bmix slabs for a vase requested by a customer. Also rolled out a slab for the base of the vase.
Finished glazing and loaded the Bailey kiln for a glaze firing tomorrow.
Glazed all day and will continue tomorrow.
