I have seen much worse. Just lucky it was not full. Still sad to see.

my dude does this all the time,! with nice pieces, we usually hang them on the wall, or decorate something with them.

its nonfunctional glass art.. yup rerun the cycle and make a coaster.. Love it..

two things.

1) get mercury relays -- quiet and don't fail in the "on" state
2) make sure nobody touches your kiln but you... i have 1 schedule i keep set and don't mess with it.

For about usd150 you could build in a system (http://www.talkglass.com/wiki/Kilnbuilding;_Safety_Controller_Layout) that will prevent it happening again.

You could always use cones as a back up too. I've melted down a batch of 22 mini tubes before - it hurt my feelings and wallet.

lol what cycle u put it on haha...ive never had that happen... i dont think i have my kiln set to go that high

[Boozeclues]

totally my fault, i meant to set the speed of which the kiln heats up to max, instead i set the target temp to max. i should have double checked before turning it on. I wasnt mad about the loss of work at all just glad there wasnt a fire. That was scary hot. I caught it at 1850 degrees. im setting the alarm on it at 1200 and babysitting my new program

it looks like someone threw some used condoms in your kiln...

I saw this thread the other day and have been thinkin about it for a few days since. This really got me thinking about utilizing some kilns they have at school. My prof just told me they have " a big glass fusing kiln somewhere around here" and he said we could get it set up and Im welcome to use it anytime....This really has me thinking about what I could do. I guess what im trying to say is......your little mishap has inspired me so thanks bro
