Hi all,

In a fog - I put 3 plaques of cone 05,04,03 into a kiln that is firing to
cone6. It's computer controlled so these are all just witness cones. But
I realized that I don't know what will happen to these cones, will they
turn into a liquid and drip off the shelves? I am totally clueless.
Please let me know soon so I can abort the firing before it's too late.

Thanks,

Scott and Vanessa

They will get drippy, yes, but won't flow like water.
If you have a good coating of kilnwash on the shelf
under them, they should come loose even after they melt.
