  1. I got the phosphor and brown doodle I made friday out of the oven yesterday. Not a clean pump. It did clean up however after running for about an hour with a neon fill. I sucked that out and I tried to fill it with the 75/25 Ne Ar blend afterwards and it is just looking airy- the peachy color seen in all the big phosphor tubes.

    I took it off the pump and out of the kiln and set it aside. If it has a leak- it will slowly return to atmospheric pressure and wont light when I try to turn it on tomorrow. If it lights, then i will see if it will clean up on its own. I guess I could bake it out again in the oven and just repump it. I definitely dont wanna add the mercury until its looking lavender and blue.

    Pumping out of a kiln can make neat results.... but so often takes forever and is annoying compared to bombarding.
