Japanese: ノートを一行でも残す

If you keep a record of the glass you used, its dimensions, profiles, and results, it will become your personal reference guide for the future.
Each firing is an experiment with a sample size of one. Even with the same program, the results vary depending on the condition of the glass and the ambient temperature.
Even if it's just one line, jot down your observations in your notebook. Even something as simple as "the color was pale" or "the edges were rounded" can lead to adjustments next time.
Insights fade over time. It’s a good idea to write them down, thinking of them as a gift to your future self.
