I just had my first chunk-o-glass fracture in my kiln. :-( I was slumping a 3.5"x3.5" shallow dish and it cracked right down the middle and flung its two halves to opposite sides of my kiln (granted, since the cavity is only
8"x8" they didn't fling far). What's REALLY annoying is this particular dish was MINE. I've already made two of this design for gifts and this one was going to be for me. :-(aarrrgghhh.
grumble.
oh well. Time to cut more glass and regroup.
