....Aaand, we're rolling! Granted, we're not rolling very fast at the moment, and those darn pilot lights keep threatening to go out, but this firing is happening!
It seemed to take longer than usual to load the kiln. I kept taking breaks to warm my hands; I can't wear gloves because I have to handle the wet sticky wadding. As usual, I couldn't fit as much ware as I hoped, but I think I got everything in that I really needed to. There's a LOT of wax in this firing. I'll have to get up around 3 am to turn on the burners, so my neighbors don't call the fire department when they see the smoke from the burning wax. That has happened before!
Best guess, I'll be spraying soda around 4 pm, pulling draw rings shortly after. It's been too long! I'm super excited for this firing.
