    One of those Great Secrets. How did Faberge and others do that
    beautiful work on eggs and cylinders when everybody knows it will
    just gather at the bottom? It's really quite simple - you get a slow
    speed motor, like 25 rpm, put a spider on the shaft that will hold
    the cylinder on the inside, and turn it on. A hand crank will do,
    too, of course, but Ceramit takes 12 hrs. to cure. For hard enamel
    you punch a hole in the side of the kiln - a glory hole, as they call
    it in glassblowing.
