Yea.. And if it does melt... You know your kiln runs hotter than your pyrometer says.

Also if you are using silver glasses or striking colors you can burn out the color if it's too got or in there too long (except for the few kiln striking ones). Some colors that have a shine or reduction can also have the shine burn off, and some very soft colors like white and pink may slump at a lower temp than the others so watch out. I know my kiln runs a little warm but when the actual temp hovers about 1000 my whites will stick if touching.
