I've been MIA from glass for over 6 months. So one of my first projects will be a pot melt. Hope it turns out OK. :)
Will post outcome tomorrow!

Here it is. More blue in person.
Would show the back but covered in kiln wash. Guess I need to invest in a sand blaster.

It looks very blue to me. What other colors did you use?
Try giving it a vinegar soak then a plastic scrubbie to tackle the stuck kiln wash.

Will try the soak but it seems pretty well baked on.
Hard to see but I also have quite a few small bubbles on the top surface. One left a small 1/4 crater. Is that normal? I used the schedule Kev posted.
