I was just looking for the answers to the small cone bending after watching your previous videos- so glad I found this one!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy all the videos!
Great video! Gave me all the information I needed, and even a visual example. I am more confident using my small cones in the kiln sitter now. Thank you!
Thank you for the encouragement!
Thanks for sharing!
Freddie, you are most welcome. Thank you for watching and providing feedback!
What change in cone firing might we expect if we keep the small cones connected in the sitter? Specifically our cone 6 cones that come packaged in two connected , opposing direction pyramids.
Kyle, it will definitely fire hotter than putting a single cone in, but without testing the actual impact is undetermined. The cones are designed to be used separated and that is the only method that will produce predictable results. Thank you for the question!
