It makes it so easy to run multiple benches. - Tribisha)

	TIP: 2-4 tick stability can be known by watching the glass timer countdown. Normally 1 drop in the glass product timer will have 1 drop in temperature. If the glass timer drops twice for 1 drop in temperature then you are in the stable period and ADD 2 CHARCOAL.		TIP: 2-4 tick stability can be known by watching the glass timer countdown.

 '''Using A Timer During Maintenance Mode'''
-If you have little timers running, you can set them to 1 minute 46 seconds. This is the amount of time from when you add cc till when it needs to be added again to prevent it from cooling off. It's actually about 1 minute 49 seconds but this allows for a small amount of server-lag and so on. So during the maintenance mode, add 2 cc then wait 1min 46secs and add 2 cc. Rinse and repeat until the heat level is up around 2200 and then pause/reset your timer and allow the bench to cool to around 1700. Then start the adding of cc every 1min 46secs again. It's best to have a separate timer running for each bench as they are of course different and because you may add cc at different points and get out of synch of a single timer.

-===Initial Heating===
+=== Further Information on Initial Heating===
 Heat your bench initially with [[Charcoal]] ([[charcoal|CC]]). To obtain a quick reliable spike you will need to add 2 [[charcoal|CC]] every time you see the temperature rise on the bench for 1 '''Tick''' (step). If you do not wait for the temperature to rise, you will need more steps to reach the proper melting point. After the steps are executed, the temperature will continue rising slowly for 1 to 2 minutes and then spike ~1000 degrees upwards (refer to advanced information for more accurate numbers). The approximate amount of steps needed for each type of glass is listed below.

 ==Bench Properties==
-Each bench may potentially have different '''Heat Value''' and '''Drop Value''' properties. These properties are fixed when building the bench and may affect your method of operation slightly. Values that are deemed good or bad are still under research and you can add your own on the [[Talk:Glassmaking_Guide|Glassmaking Discussion]] page. Note that depending on these values you may want to tear down your bench and build a new one.
