We've done it repeatedly at FIU. Prof has us put damp, leather-dry work,
not WET wet work, into the kiln. It candles overnight, or at least 8-10
hours, then he turns on the low element to LOW for one hour, then turns the
middle element on LOW for one hour, then the top element on LOW for one
hour. Then he does the same with the Medium setting. Then he closes the
lid and proceeds to fire. Takes time, patience. We've never had anything
blow up except some sculptures when somebody forgot to pinhole an airway.
That only happened once.
