Hi lanie I do this all the time, just put a spoon of Borax in half a cup of warm water, brush the half of the bottle yhat won´t touch the shelf and wait till it´s dry (few minutes, if the water is warm).

Re: Luiza's work

Luiza, Very nice 'flow' to these pieces. (I am assuming you are still working with float).... I really like the Cage. I think you should explore this piece more.

I found out what a pratos is, very nice. Your english is better than my Portuguese at present. I noticed that a lot of your work is sagged/slumped where the temperatures aren't very high. I use good quality lampworking glasses at these lower temps so I can actually see what's going on and the darke...

dry eyes - wrong forum?

Hi all I went today to my oculist, cause I am felling my eyes very dry. I use contact lens, so I thought that they were guilty... The doctor said that my problem is the heat of the kiln - I LOVE to look inside the kilns... He said I´ve damaged my eyes, and I´ll have to use wet drops forever... Is ...
