If I had a bubbly rod what is the easiest way to get the air out?

Heat to a gather, kneed a little and pull back out to rod.... This works for small amounts of air, for large amounts try blending it with itself or just crush it into powder or frit.

Thanks for all your work John. Can't wait to see Peachy Keen. I didn't implode any of it while I had it.

Your Jellies are exquisite and I totally understand you not wanting to divulge your method. I've made a few as well as mushrooms and wasted plenty of glass. I won't even show pixs. I totally get how much time and energy and glass you have invested to get your work where it is.

For those interested in learning about Jellies ... the resources I found useful were a write up that Hagstrom did (I think over on the melting pot) ... his are different from John's. Similar in technique to John's but different style ... Cosmo (Chad Trent's) Boro Pendant book 1 covers Mushroom pendants and Mary Lockwood (Mary Moth) has an aquarium bead tut for soft glass ... the technique is the same just the execution of it is different.

Thanks for understanding, and for sighting good reference to something similar but different.
Here is peachy keen as a jelly. It didn't strike differently at all for me internally.... Stayed pretty peachy. Pretty much WYSIWYG internally.

Actually it will strike to reddish coral tones after about 3 cycles as shown in the pendant here

Can you share your kiln settings for these striking? I get very frustrated with striking boro and had hoped that I could kiln strike.

Thanks

I garage at 950-980 while working. A gradual strike I do at 1075 for 20-30 minutes. Med
Strike is 1100 for about 12-15 min. Med fast is 1150-1175 for 8-12 minutes. Super strike is 1200-1250 for 5-8 minutes. Then anneal as usual and down. Most of these I do a med strike on . The last peachy keen pendant got a super strike. Also repeating striking multiple times by dropping below 500 after each strike cycle will bring out a lot of colors.
Today was a packaging/shipping day and tonight is gallery sales, so next review comes tomorrow.

Hi John ... really like how the Peachy Keen struck deeper on the edges of the bell ... neat effect.

Here is pink as a stringer....... I'm already thinking AMAZING. Be careful as over heating can cause a little surface boil.

Here it is before striking... Thins out quite a bit on its own, but I'm gonna try watering it down a little with clear anyway.

Crimson Elvis pulled to a stringer.... Slightly bubbly, but again the bubbles work their way out easily.
