For thicker stuff (>.5 inch), I tend to
soak for about 2 hours at 1070,
ramp to 950 (strain point) over 1.5 hours,
soak at 950 for 25 minutes to let it all catch up a bit,
go down to 600 over a 2-3 hours and then shut off.
It's not like I've checked this with polariscopes or something, but it certainly works for me.
