Failed glass

Well, after a second try with the same stuff, the antimony glass failed. Just kept vitrifying back into antimony rather than form the glass. I believe I didn't spend enough time roasting it, as a lot of sulfur smoke was coming off, which I think interfered with making the glass. This only reinforces the importance of spending a lot of time roasting, which I don't think I did. So I know what I did wrong, and I know what to do, just sucks that I spent all that time and now have to start over with it.
