I just spoke to Nancy Tang at UGotGlass? to let her know concerns have been expressed. She's was very surprised and will look into it right away. In addition, let me say that Nancy was my first fused glass teacher and she's an impressive person. Her business is growing and I'd hate to have this post...

Quill, I'm not sorry you posted here! I'm impressed. I've been trying to get a successful drop ring for the last month and this is your first piece out of your new kiln? I like it. Last night I etched the edges of 7 drop ring vases to get rid of the devit. Not to try to fire polish them... sigh. Sue

Would using only 2 layers of glass help Sarah? From reading, it looks like using 2 layers retains the shape and size of the glass. Not sure-- I'm a newbie who's asking. Sue

My thanks to all for advice. I received a call this morning and Dianna has had her kiln ordered. Should be here within 10 days or so. She went with an evenheat and it fits all the dimension recommendations I was given. RevJerry is going to work with her when she gets her kiln. She's done a little fu...

Hi Jerry-- It's Sue Walsh in Bucksport! It's been a while since I've seen you and Ann. That clay rooster Ann helped Dianna with is wonderful! Sue

I totally agree with everyone on the class issue. I told her about the one coming up in New Hampshire but she has twin boys (age 2 in May!!) so she can't make leave home for that long. She and I have done stained glass for years but since the boys arrived, she's short on time. She has also done pott...

I have a friend who wants to buy a kiln to slump sinks in. She has NO experience with fusing and I'm concerned that she's biting off more than she can chew... but what the heck, she asked for my advice! I haven't even made the "perfect" vase with my drop ring yet so I'm turning to this for...

Warner-Crivellero (sp?) also has it. I had a hard time finding Primo Primer and finally got it from Kaiser-Lee. They were really nice to work with. Sue

At the moment, I'm in Maine but I'm heading to San Diego on Thursday. My daughter won a major award with Chase Manhattan Morgage, whom she works for, and is up for a bigger prize. This is an all expense paid trip to an awards banquet and where do they choose to have it, out of all the states they do...

Marsha, Thanks for the idea. For now, I'm going to see if I can just behave. My brother helped me fix the broken wires, courtesy of instructions from evenheat. My kiln is up and running. I'll keep what you did for a fix in the back of my mind if I can't stand tilting the shelf for the rest of my lif...

Pam, I love your idea. I'd travel to meet other fusers... Heck, I travel to Waterville just to see what's new at Glass Express! (I also do stained glass. Fusing is an extension from there, I think.) If this gets off the ground, let me know. My home email is: SWalsh1954@aol.com

Good thought and I got sort of lucky today in exactly that area today. My heating system expert stopped in at the credit union I work for to deposit some checks and I tackled him in the lobby! He's going to fix it. I had spoken to Mike at Evenheat earlier and he said they use excess wire when making...

My Evenheat GT14-6 with Rampmaster II control arrived in November. I've been happily playing and learning ever since... until Monday. That's the day that my moving the pyrometer temperature probe to the side to lower a loaded kiln shelf into the kiln decided it had had enough of the abuse and the wi...

Nancy Tang is UGotGlass. She also has Glass Orchids.

I'm further north- Bucksport is in Hancock County. Glass Orchids is not far from me. Nancy Tang was my first (and to date, only) warm glass instructor. She's in Frankfort (Waldo County) and has an 800 #. She's also a sponsor on this website... check her out. I'm also trying to convince Glass Express...

Been there and done that! I had my first successful drop ring come out of the kiln this morning. (talk about a proud parent!) I've had drop rings crack and melt through. I've had them just slump right through onto the floor, as yours did. (Mine slagged over onto itself so all my pretty glass was fac...

Nevermind! I found my own answer in one of the old posts in the archive. Thanks, Cynthia!

For ...

If you remelt a project suffering from devit, do you get a second chance to change anneal schedule to avoid devit on the project? Tried a drop ring today but dropped through the mold and I'm not sure but it may be devitrification on the top of it. When I found it died on me, I shut the kiln off and ...

Kim and Lydia,
Kim, I found the stoppers thanks to your directions. Many thanks!

Lydia, They're beautiful!

Sue

Lydia, I'd like to see your slumped wine stoppers but can't find the pics. Where are they? From another newbie! Sue
