Hi again everyone. My kiln is still a problem, as I have not had it fixed yet. (firebrick mortar has not yet arrived) I have, however, found a way to fuse glass that works for me. I have only lost ONE piece out of 6!!! I am slowly heating the glass with a torch, (on top of a brick) and manipulating ...

Thanks Tom! That helps.....I really think I either need a controller, or else a new kiln (ugh!)...anyhow, I will figure this all out and let you all know how things are going. I semm to be able to produce a few pieces of fused glass successfully, using a torch. Perhaps I will continue this way, but ...

Thanks for the info and ideas...I STILL want to know if any of you think things will get better once the kiln 's firebrick is repaired around the door. Yes, it is a very small kiln, and I WISH I had the money to buy another one, but I just don't. The tumbled sea glass is coming along nicely, and it ...

i guess all i can do is keep trying then, huh? the piece i melted this morning was 3 colors. two came out beautifully....one is all cracked. guess i will break it up and put it into my tumbler. I told myself when I began this new venture, that if the glass cracked, I did not care...i would just tumb...

Thanks for all the great advice. I am not sure if my glass is compatible, as I just began these projects 48 hours ago, and still have a TON to learn....I ASSUME they are compatible, as they are glass "blobs" in different colors, manufactured by the same company. They are the same size, jus...

Gosh Jerry! Thank you! That should save me a lot of money....great idea! And my fiance is VERY handy with things like that. I will show him your post tonight when he gets home from work. Once I install the dimmer or other controller, and patch up the firebrick, that should do it! YAY! I thought I wa...

No, it's a little baby...interior measuring about 3 1/2 inches deep. 4 1/2 inches high, and about 4 inches wide. It has two elements...one on each side. but no way to turn on just one element. There is a toggle switch on the front of the kiln...if it is UP, the kiln is on. If it is DOWN, the kiln is...

Thanks for the reply, Tony! Yes, the darned thing just has an "on" and "off" switch...no medium, lo, or high. Perhaps once the firebrick is repaired, it will cool more slowly? In the meantime, I guess I will just try and come up with some safe ways to insulate the gaps during coo...

Hi everyone. This is my first post here, and I am just learning how to fuse glass. I tried my first piece yesterday, and was so thrilled! As it melted, the colors blended beautifully! (kiln has no peep hole, so i opened the door just enough to peek in.....could this be a problem?) Unfortunately, it ...
