The only bump I ran in to with Future Forms was in calling, sometimes the phone rang and rang with no answering device to leave a message. Had to try a few times, but got through eventually.

So to make sure I understand, I will need to: keep rod in during grinding so that it will be able to remain in for the later fire-polishing. Therefore, rod and the kiln-wash coating wil more than likely get wet during the grinding (mine is an Inland grinder). So I will then need to make sure everyti...

how do I finish dichro cab with a channel

I made several dichroic cabs/stones using a kiln-wash coated rod for a chain. A few need to be grinded to be more even, then fire-polished. My question is, what about the rod? Do I try to keep it in when using the grinder? If so, when I fire-polish, is the rod still supposed to be left in place? Or,...

Thank you to Brock and Cynthia for your encouragement. I needed to hear that from you. Not so sure about the "hung over" part, tho. I'll be careful in my celebrations so I won't miss a thing!

As a newbie, I would gladly pay an association fee or a fee to be a part of this board. I'm very grateful for all that I've learned here. I also just received Brad's book and am thrilled! If there is a conference, I am hoping that those of us who are somewhat new to warm glass won't be out of our le...

1. I call in my sales at home the evening of the show. You can do it by cell phone at the show if you wish. 2. So far I have not gotten a bad card. 3. My sales increased 35-40% with credit card. I also write up every sale on an itemized sales slip (even with credit card) That's why I'm willing to pa...

new AIM 84J help needed

I just received my new AIM84J and am anxious to get started. Directions seem a little sketchy. (I have been using a Paragon SC2 to fuse my dichro cabs which is digital). My questions are: 1. With the infinite controller with a dial to 1 - 10, how do you know the rate or degrees per hour (besides the...

New Source for Dial-pay program

I am one of the many who got the letter from Merchant Services at NPC that a new $20 monthly fee would be charged if I did not meet the minimum. I cancelled with the NPC program and have decided to go with another company through Discover Business Services. (It's called Global) A little more costly ...

need mini folded earring cards to hang on display rack

Does anyone know where I can find mini folded cards to display my small earrings that hang over a rack. I don't care for the style of plastic adhesive attachments or punch holes. I thought maybe of blank bookmarks or possible folding business cards, but it's not quite what I'd like. I'd appreciate a...

Need battery operated lights for shows

I'm wondering if there is such a thing as lights that are battery operated that can be used for both indoor and outdoor shows. I make dichroic jewelry and light certainly helps show the effect. At times I've taken pieces out of the tent into the sunlight. I am hoping there might be an easier way.

I, too, use the Discover Program. It's great for those of us who don't sell as often. I also got a business credit card and a small business checking account to keep any transactions separate from household stuff. I check my banking on-line and can easily see when the credit card transactions have b...
