Thanks Karl, that makes sense and might just be my problem. I appreciate the info from everyone, I need all the help I can get. Thanks again Mich...

I soaked it 5 min.

Gary the first test piece the oven was cold but the second piece I preheated it the grain was a lot better but not glass. Thanks for the help!...

Karl, when I did the test, I had not done anything to it, simply brought it straight out of the tube from Aldo... thanks for all the input guys&#...

Brian I let it air cool in between thermal cycles. I don't understand why the grain is so big.
