Dear Friends:
Please describe some of your more interesting firing mistakes in an
electric kiln. Mistakes are valuable, because we learn so much from
them.
Thanks,
Arnold Howard

Hi Arnold...here's one for you: A few years ago I was loading my kiln for
a glaze firing (High), and to fire some buttons I suspended them on a wire
(old spiral of used element) with the ends of the wire on kiln posts. Next
I needed to place a plate that was intended for a friend for her birthday.
There was room under the row of buttons so I carefully slid it under the wire.
Next afternoon, the result amazed me--the wire had sagged just the right
amount to have a row of equally spaced buttons marching diagonally across
the plate! I was SO disgusted! I was able to break out the pieces of wire,
and leave the buttons. I later took the plate to my friend and said "This
plate was supposed to be your Birthday present". To my surprise, she
wanted to keep it, showed it to everyone and it's still in her china cabinet.
Ann in CA, who had the great good luck, this past weekend, to get a used
Pacifica GT400 wheel for $150! It is SO quiet! If if wasn't I wouldn't
have bought it...I'm used to my noiseless kick wheel, and will keep it too.
This Pacifica is 7-8 yrs old, and doesn't reverse, but that's OK.
