+After I started that profile running I realised I'd forgotten to paint the muffin tin in release agent. This could be bad.

+Looks promising...
+But no. I had to destroy the muffin tin and peel the steel off the glass in strips.

+I suspect the coating on the muffin tin decomposed at high temperatures and bubbled gas through my slugs. I threw one on the linisher to see whether it would be workable for testing polishing techniques, but the bubbles are very close to the surface and I broke through almost immediately. This results in glass fragments getting caught between the polishing surfaces and gouging around.
+Next time I will try to buy an uncoated stainless steel muffin tin, or I will pre-fire the tin on a dry run to burn off any coatings, then add a layer of release agent.
