Unloaded the Bailey glaze kiln. Medium reduction (20 minutes at the end of the firing) with cone 10 fully down. The 2 Silicon Carbide shelves from Laguna preformed well so far: no warping or ware sticking to the shelves.
Considerable pinholes on Turquoise Matt glazed plates and large platters, less on smaller pieces. Tenmoku glaze looks great with more black than brown (due to medium reduction?). Other glazes (Chun white, Iron Red) also good.
