Unfortunately I have had a few beads crack on me over the last few days, (largish lentils, probably my fault left them out of the bubbles for so long or not re-heating fully between pressing, not sure which).

But I have heard somewhere that you can slump the broken halves into cabs. 

I have done a small amount of dichroic slumping in my kiln just raising the kiln to 800 degrees C and then turning the kiln off and leaving till cold (did not know at the time how to how to ramp my kiln then I can now)

Can someone give me any ideas about at what temp 104 coe glass will slump (if it will) ?
should I ramp the kiln ?

I believe that there is a temp mentioned in this week's gallery, along with pictures of the results.
