I think Slumpy's sell five pound bags of 96 frit but it is not Spectrum's, I think it's Carolina frit. Bob The Carolina Frit bags I have here in the shop have stickers on the box saying "Made from System 96 Glass". I believe that Slumpys just crushes the S96 glass and sorts/bags it themse...

An excellent store, too, might I add!

Plated!

Slumpys makes it:

The best thing here is the experience of hundreds of others....... Very helpful indeed.

PS -- Those last two pieces are straight from System 96's tutorials........

Here's some more finished ones, they'll be turned into plates or something, not sure yet..... http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae48/illusionsglassfl/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-03-07_13-33-26_837_zpsnzksc9nq.jpg http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae48/illusionsglassfl/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-03-07_13-33-1...

Posts on a bulletin board are tough to pull out the nuances of what is being said or not said. There is no tone of voice or inflection. All I meant was, if your glass is annealing well, you don't really need to change. As to the cracked glass, I would suggest you change, as I would prefer, myself, ...

Ben No need to solve problems you don't have, then. Hi Bert, I cant figure out if your message was meant to push me to try and solve the problem harder, poke fun at me, or to postulate that the idea of the stained glass random sheet cracking wasnt really fixable. If I said something that sounded of...

I would probably anneal at a lower temperature like 920º. There are no exactly right or wrong ways to get the anneal done. And, chances are a simple shutoff is sufficient for a 3mm piece inside your kiln. So, it might not matter at all. Try this test. Take a piece of the broken glass and see how it...

http://www.amazon.com/Gryphon-Gryphette-Stained-Glass-Grinder/dp/B0063MFINS I picked mine up for $79.99 locally. It's got a more powerful motor than the Glastar ones in the same price range. The disadvantage to this grinder, is that the surface top is small. However. easily fixed by mounting it leve...

Glass expands as it's heated, contracts as it cools, sometimes quite a bit (depends on the COE, or coefficient of expansion, that everyone talks about). If the glass is heated (or cooled) unevenly, then the hotter areas will expand more than the cooler areas. If the difference in temperature gets t...

You can always dump them on lampworketc.com's garage sale forum, it's pretty busy there for this type of glass they'd sell in an hour if priced reasonably.

I will happily come to Vancouver and punch you in the face if you'll trade that service for glass training!

I kind of like the wonky blue one. You're not going to like this: "it was fired in "Small Piece Slumping" fire schedule built into the kiln" will not get you anywhere. You need to know what happens at different temps and why you ramp and hold for x time at y temp at all stages o...

So how would you know if a mold is suitable for fusing, and slumping? I thought you could only slump with molds, not fuse........ (Super novice, here).

Jen Ken says kiln will be shipping in a day or so, and it only takes 1 day for delivery......... Horray! :-) And I decided to go COE96 for glass, for now. Picked up from Slumpys: (40) Sheets of T-Glass assorted (1) Carolina Frit Fine Kit (5#) Glass Odds (1#) Glass Pebbles And a few other things from...
