Wow…This has been hell
This is the schedule I said I was going to use the last time I posted about this piece.
| Ramp | Target | Hold (in minutes) |
| FULL | 960 | 100 |
| 50 | 800 | 30 |
| 75 | 700 | 30 |
| 100 | 100 | 0 |
Well…the cool down schedule wasn’t slow enough. It ended up cracking again in a different location.
Sorry,,,don’t have any pics but it ended up splitting up into two pieces. The split ran vertically just to the right of the dichroic figure and to the left of the pot melt. I think it occurred because the glass was thinnest in the area that I had to fill in with frit and cooled unevenly. I used an even more conservative cool down schedule and I think this time it did the trick.
