Heard a guy at the Corning Museum talk about annealing thick pieces
He said for a 2-inch thick paperweight, you need to soak it at 950 degrees for at least 48 hours, not just overnight. I always just guessed at my soak times based on thickness, but that specific number made me realize I was probably rushing it. How do you all figure out your annealing schedules for really heavy stuff?

Man, that's wild. I never even thought about the center of the piece lagging that far behind in temperature. So your kiln says 950, but the core could be way cooler for hours, right?

That 48 hour figure is a real eye opener. I used to just double the thickness in hours and call it good, but that's clearly not enough.
