Paul thank you for your comment. I did try to use the Fire Polish schedule and the bottles collapsed in the kiln. I found on another site where someone said to try the annealing temp and then they were going to use a torch, close the lid to the kiln and let cool. There has got to be a better way. I have also seen it done with a torch and the bottle is put on a turn table – seemed to work, but I don’t know much about torches, oxygen ratio, etc. It would seem there are many of us out there wanting to figure out the easiest/best way to fire polish these darn bottles.
It’s the proverbial project management triangle: fast, cheap, and good. Choose two, you can’t have all three
If you want a quality piece with minimal effort, you’ll have to invest in expensive equipment (i.e., a lap grinder). If you want a quality piece done cheaply, it’s going to take time.
The only other option is cheap and fast, where quality goes out the window.
