mavoixParticipantSo.. I ended up with a fisheye after doing a contour fuse. I did some reading and am hoping this will work. My piece is 12.25 inches round, One layer with rod dots creating a spiral. Now I have put the piece on fiberboard 1/8 inches thick. The program I am trying is
1.150f to 300 f hld 15min.
2. 200f 1225f hld 60min
3. AFAP 950f hld 60min.
4. 150f 800f hld 10min.
Will this relax the eye? Input is very much appreciated.

There is a slight ripple in it now so, will have to think on it. May just incorporate it into the design. Will see. Doesn’t look the way I wanted it to hwr, it may just turn out to be a happy accident.
