Following Elaine's help with my slumping schedule and Pat's tip on supporting the neck of the bottle, I had another go last night!
Much happier with how this turned out.



Tonight the Marmite pot gets it!!!

I used Elaine's schedule

Seg.   Rate   Temp   Hold
1        278     593      10
2        139     704       0
3       Full      804      5
4       Full      554     60
5        56       399       0

To get the handle, I turned a mold upside down to get the flat edge and just rested the bottle neck on it. The really cool thing is that I didn't notice that my mold said "Slumpy's" on the base, and the lettering has transferred to the bottle neck  :D

That's turned out really well Gaynor.  I must try that trick to form a handle on my next bottle - but have to drink the contents first :)

Will be giving it a go :) but I don't have any moulds so may have improvise.  Any suggestions what's best as an improvise?

These look brilliant!  :) D'you know if you can do them in an Ace?

Nice and flat - well done. Except the bit that shouldn't be flat...if ya get me

I'd think anything that props the neck up would do if you put fusing paper on it to stop the glass sticking? But I'm no expert, just a have a goer (LOL), so hopefully someone more savvy will be along soon ;-)

Anything ceramic will serve as a mold provided you line it with kiln paper. Simplest to start is an old ceramic saucer. Let your imagination flow. A tiny terracotta flower pot will serve as a prop or an upside down ceramic eggcup covered in fibre paper perhaps? with a small square of glass balanced on top, if you want to play. I'm just thinking of small things for those with small kilns.
