:P Thank you for sharing these pictures with us - it is GREAT to see young people working with glass and learning a little bit about kilnformed glass - I know I always enjoy it at art shows when young people come in my booth and tell me they have worked with glass in school - sometimes they even tea...

If you can only fire Wasser to 1340 degrees must you do a long hold if you cap with BE clear and/or use dichroics on it?? I too ended up with "Yucky results" and haven't used it since. Otherwise 1340 is only a tack fuse so what does one do???? thanks Kim K

I have a Paragon 120 volt - 13 inch round shelf - which can be transported back and forth - but it does weight 40+ pounds - that is one drawback - but is doable. As to using the kiln in your den or anywhere in your condo - if you use fiber paper you will get a horrific smell - and also an odor from ...

Jerry - It didn't work for me either - I got the same message that Brad did - hope you get it to work - Kim

I found my replacement pins on eBay

Sara - what did you pay for your maching - I am looking to upgrade later this summer and am just starting to research this - Unlike alot of others I have been reading about - I have experienced requests and chargebacks mostly from people who say they weren't in Wisconsin, when I call them it always ...

So glad to read that I DON'T have to heat the kiln -hopefully that will make the job much easier - please cross your fingers for me - I will attempt to fix the sagging elements tomorrow as I have a bowl in the kiln now!
Many thanks for this board's help once again! Kim

My Paragon kiln elements have been sagging and the pins have been falling out - I finally got some replacement pins and now want to replace them - My question is that with heating my element to about 300 degrees I am going to have to wear gloves to insert them - my gloves are so big on my hands I do...

Thank you for the suggestions -
I have sent away for the catalogs and can't wait til they arrive - This board is such a big help! Thanks again for sharing your wealth of information. Kim K

I am wondering where you can buy Sterling Silver and 14K gold filled neckchains, earring posts, barrettes, wire for wrapping at good prices? R&T doesn't offer enough choice for me so I am looking for another source or 2 or 3.

thanks for the help! Kim K

Roma - THANK YOU so much for sharing your set up - I am going to give it a try - will let you know how it turns out. Kim

Bill -
I like the adventurine green, pale amethyst irid, and the black irids for giving great backgrounds to dichro usage.
Kim K

Tony - thanks for the link - would you recommend that tent set up for taking pictures of dichroics?

I am having a really hard time getting the colors to show up and I know from seeing other people's work that it can be done.

Any other suggestions gladly welcomed! Kim K

Hi Roma -
Very Beautiful Work - I particularly like the dichro work in the Easter Bracelet! Really Flows.

Would you be willing to share how you take your pictures as I am having a difficult time in having the dichro show up and yours really sparkles.

thanks for sharing - Kim K

WOW! thanks so much for all the suggestions! I had gone to 2 firings to get away from the bubbles that were bothering me. But I will retry putting the clear cap on and doing only 1 firing. I use mostly (90%) CBS dichro - but have just recently started using the clear. There is so much to learn and I...

Tom -
thanks for sharing this info - I love the thin fire and will be looking forward to giving the new thin fire a try.

I have been doing some dichro cabs with some success - learning as I go with help from this board :D my last two batches have come out with some puzzling results and I don't know what I am doing wrong or how to correct it - any help greatly appreciated! This is the problem - I am firing dichro on an...

ALL the pictures are showing up now - must have been a glitch somewhere. Kim K
