1500 F

You'd do better to ask this question on a board with kiln specialists.

I use 1550 to 1800 depending on the effect I want. Most common is 1650.

Okay, I'll bite, what's a pot melt - from your point of view?

Default pot melts

The pot melt I'm talking about is melting glass in a terra cotta pot
suspended over the kiln shelf. The glass drains out of the hole in the
bottom of the pot. I'll be doing one later today.

AKA aperture pour. Melting colored glass and have it flow through an
orifice onto the kiln shelf. Probably half of my work uses pot melts
right now.

Alternate definition, sprinkling marijuana on a patty melt.

At IHOP it's called a Potty Melt.

Can you describe your procedure, and what you do for controlling where
it goes and such? Looks like fun.
