Celia,

I fire several Skutt 1027's w/controller at places where I teach
handbuilding. I take the bisque to ^04, but you could play with this to
lower the temp.

This firing is probably a bit too long, but I never have any blow-ups.

Valice
who wishes she had a Skutt 1027 for her own instead of the ancient thing
sitting in the studio (but at least it works!)
