slumping problems with my foldover pendant

[sherrieb]

Just curious if anyone has tried this project in a Paragon II kiln?  I followed the firing schedule, but my strips didn’t budge at all.  I next tried Slumpy’s schedule for slumping, and the best I got was a 50 degree angle.  I’m wondering if that’s good enough to proceed with the second slump for total foldover.  Do I need to go with a higher temp, or longer hold at slumping temperature (or both) to get the strips to do more of a lean towards total foldover before the second step??
