Sorry peeps!

Spoke to Cherry heaven again and ran some more tests, all OK, it overshot by 50 degrees on one of them but then calmed itself down!

I let him get on with his day and put it on for a anneal as you go program with a 6 hour garage and tried to skip the first segment, it would only let me skip the 3rd segment  and then shot up past 700 degrees!

I have now emailed Laura at Paragon and I'm waiting for her to get back to me to see if this has happened before!  I am now waiting (and bricking it!!) with a kiln full of beads (can't fit anymore in!) for the garage section to finish so I can watch it rise to anneal, hold and then come down before I can go to bed!!

Oh, no! Crossing fingers for you!!!

Fingers crossed. If it helps and you get them out alive I can batch anneal for you.

You are all stars, thanks for the support, I have been very nervous but I garaged OK for 6 hours, not leaving my studio!  Then it clicked and went to annealing which is where it's at now.  Phew, 27 minutes to go then it starts the ramp down.

Everything is still crossed, and I am busting for a wee!
