So, we figured the problem was actually that I had filled the kiln with three times as much material as the time I used the original schedule.
In the interest of time, I adjusted the schedule but continued firing with the three molds. It went swell.
In the future, I might want to continue experimenting until perfection is achieved, but for the moment I have actually run out of scraps. Could I use virgin material for this product? Sure, probably... but I'm currently behind with commissions for things I know how to do well (including a painting), so I have to finish those first before launching into more experimentation. I also see more profitable and satisfying to figure out how to make the blown beads again. So, projects will be prioritized...
