Shut off the kiln when the glass has bent to the degree that you want. As a starting point, you could fire a bottle to cone 016. Cooling usually must be slow from 1100 degrees F. to 700 degrees F, which is the annealing range. The smaller the project, the faster the glass can cool through that temperature range.
A whaling ban, or moratorium, was then introduced in 1986. Even today, no one really knows how many whales are left. Unfortunately, some countries like Japan, Iceland and Norway have refused to stop whaling. They still kill thousands of whales each year between them.Japan.

Norway only respected the IWC's whaling ban until 1993. Using a loophole in the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, Norway objected to the whaling moratorium, and resumed hunting for minke whales. Norway sets its own quota for the number of whales its whalers are permitted to kill for commercial reasons. This number has gone up and up, from being allowed to kill 671 minke whales in 2002 to more than 1,000 today.
