If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. And again. And again.

I remembered that I have a kiln next to my manifold now. So I returned to this sequence of bends I had been playing with around this time last year.

I forgot the whole, "make it perfectly and don't leave any inconsistencies behind part" so it took me all morning. After trying again a few times I eventually got it :).

Instead of bombarding, this lil Rainbow Sunrise Doodle got sent into the oven :) I didnt have to place any mica, but I did have to wait a bit.

Gosh, I should really come back to those designs that are impossible to bombard.

Second (or third) time around is usually better anyways. Getting more confident with this one.
Me holding the doodle in my hand, just around lunchtime. The red is all brown because its hot. In this photo, I just need to make a few more bends, weld in the cobalt and wrap that around a bit, then make 3 more bends before adding the other electrode.
First attempt moving along nicely
That first attempt broken because a thick spot I left behind a few heats earlier got shocked and broke. Time to start over.

@elduvelle We buy custom glass from CMScientific. They also apparently sell fused silica (Polymicro). Very nice company.

We buy our Agilent-branded fused silica tubing (like 400 µm diameter) from VWR I think.

For the metal cannulae, I don't know, sorry.
