Hi Deborah,
Thanks for answering about controllers.
I am looking for a crystalline glaze firing profile. I want to include
it as a sample in the instruction sheet for Paragon's next controller.
Do you have a profile I could use?
I know crystalline glazes fire very differently from one other, but I
wanted to include a sample to help educate the new user. Otherwise
people will think, "Why in the world would I need 16 segments?"
The new controller has 16 segments. We're announcing it in a month.
Thanks,
Arnold
