Becca I had a look at your potmelts and I like the spoked effect you seem to achieve. As I write this I have another potmelt on the go - this time with a less controversial colour combo (cobalt blue and clear)! Some time back I had an annealing problem with my first potmelt. After three attempts it ...

I've frequently seen the BE colour combo charts but it seems that this didn't sink in when I inadvisably chose green and yellow!

Becca I've finally managed to post a picture of my potmelt at the following URL (the first time didn't work): http://www.glassfusion.co.uk/Potmelt.jpg Thanks for the advice re the colour combos - definately ones to avoid in future. I like you potmelt as I hadn't seen a spoked one up until now - very...

Thanks for the tip re green and yellow glass - I'll bear it in mind. I think my initial choice of colours for the experiment wasn't the best!

:) Thanks for the advice Randy - much appreciated. I forgot to mention in my original post that the drop was about 4" - I'll try again using your technique. Your website is a great help, especially with laying the glass out in the pot and your firing schedules. Thanks Ian http://www.glassfusion...

:?: Can anyone help me with a mud-mixing problem I'm having with potmelts. I am using an 8" diameter flowerpot with a 7/8" aperture. After stacking equal quantites of Bullseye Emerald Green (transparent) and Canary Yellow (opaque) vertically in the pot (green then yellow then green and so ...

Jim,

Thanks for the help - I'll try that temperature when I next need to polish.

Hi all

Ok, so I know different kilns fire at different rates and in different ways but has anyone ever firepolished in a Paragon GL24 and, if so, at what temp.

Thanks

Hi

My concern about slumping "into" anything made of metal is the fact that it will clamp onto the glass. Slumping into ceramic and over stainless steel is my understanding.

Rather intriguingly I've only noticed the silver-shift of 0146F at slumping temperatures of 680C. At the first full fuse temp of 815C the glass retains its original colouring - does the shift only work as the glass passes through a certain temp range as appears to be the case?
