Abstract: (arXiv)

Assuming a first order phase transition during inflation, a model scenario is described which does not require a tiny coupling constant. Thermal equilibrium is closely maintained as inflation commences. No large scale reheating is necessary. Solutions for N> 70 are found for any

\delta \rho / \rho

in the range

10~{-5} - 10~{-3}
