Tony, Thanks for the info and continued support!! I just noticed that you are from Ithaca. Are you connected with Corning Museum?? I love that place and hope to take some classes there in the future. I've never been to a more interesting museum, not just because I love glass either......my family hu...

WOW!! very interesting posting. All I know is.........well really nothing, however, I have found that in my evenheat coffin kiln I have to put my shelves above the side elements....I use 6" post. I am still having troubles getting an even fuse (aka bubbles from shelve) but I am still trying and...

O.K. I am not quite ready to do a happy dance, but I am getting close. Heres what I have discovered and what the final results are. My shelves are flat. My kiln is firing hotter than it thinks!! my firing schedule yesterday was incredibly conservative: 250 dph to 980 soak for 20 60 dph to 1285 soak ...

Deborah, I dont know that I can offer much more than a shoulder to cry on. I am really trying to slow down the whole firing process. I am actually ramping 250 to 980, holding for 20 than 60 to 1285 holding for 20 than 250 to 1435. I am trying this with bullseye. I have discovered that this new kiln ...

Tony Thanks for the info. I am currently firing my kiln. I am using a much slower ramp time. Yes I am finding that this larger kiln seems to hold a temp and fuses at a lower range than my smaller one. I really think that the size of the shelve has alot to do with it, as I am using two large shelves,...

I love it!!!!!

Ron, Thanks for the good info. I didnt get around to firing today, however am ready to go for tomorrow. I got very similar advice today from a good friend. She stated about the same as you, that I need to slow down, and that my glass is starting to lay flat around the edges but remainin cooler in th...

OK tommorrow will be a new test fire with my old shelve. I think I will also make one with fiber board and try that. SSSHHHEEEESSSHH Thanks for your quick input. You know how it goes......I am not sleeping at night because my brain loves a good mystery!!!! I just dont like loosing all of the glass.....

I have used an alumina wash on my board before firing. This makes the board more durable and strong. Then fire to 1250 to cure.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have placed a level on my shelves and they appear to be flat. I am assuming that is an accuate test.????

I have just started using my new evenheat GTS 2541-13. I have been fusing glass for three years with smaller kilns and never had such a problem I am having now. I have been doing test fires with Spectrum 96 and Bullseye 90 and am experiencing the same problem......you guessed it !!! Huge Big Blister...
