Question HELP annealing schedule

I don't know how to program the ramp down... I know you ramp down 100-200 degrees but how long do you hold it and then what???????

thanks in advance!

for boro i hold an inch an hour at 1050 then ramp 50 (or less if huge) an hour to 900 then off. if really huge stuff 2 inches or more i do add a ramp down to 500 or 200 also, with no hold, then off. i dont open my kiln to take work out till its down to 100 or less.

for thin stuff like 1/8 to 1/4, I hold at at 1050 for at least 15 min, ramp 100/hour to 950, hold 15, then ramp 100 again to 850 and off. I'll open at 200 or so, but only because I am impatient.
