Considerations for Multiple Firings

There are many reasons you might need to fire a project multiple times to achieve a desired result. Some of the most common include:
* Fusing and slumping in two separate firings
* Firing components that will later be incorporated into a larger or thicker work
* Adding layers of texture to a work by tack fusing components over multiple firings
In this lesson, we will cover strategies for successfully reheating pre-fired work, the cumulative effect of heatwork on glass, and how to anneal works that have been fired multiple times. We will also look at some special considerations.

Thanks for the great videos you're sharing. would you please tell me how can I get the annealing chart for the thick slab? and how to choose the heat rate chart and the hold time for different cases?
