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.

Whale meat became a crucial part of the Japanese food supply after World War II, because it was a cheap source of protein for a country that was suffering from postwar poverty.This delicacy was even served to children in school lunches from the late 1940s to the early 1960s [source: McCurry ].he Japanese government says it's studying whale populations. Activist groups accuse the Japanese of hunting whales to sell the meat in their country. Norway objected to the commercial whaling moratorium and filed an objection with the IWC.
