Everything I fire is on a freshly kiln washed shelf. I almost never refire a shelf 2 times without redoing the wash.
Kiln wash is a little messy until you develop a method and learn to work with it. I spray it on with an airbrush.

Re: A-14
Anybody been using Thompsons A-14? I was using it today with the screening and painting paint and it seems like it's taking forever to dry. Probably because I have to slump this tray and be done by tomorrow. Any harm in firing it a bit wet? Yes, it may be slow drying but it beats having to clean th...

Pigment of my imagination?
I've been watching colors develop in Bullseye glass and I'm trying to understand the reason. I'm familiar with the process of "striking" for red and orange opal glass and see the results often. Is it the same process when other colors seem to develop after firing a time or two? Example, si...

The green color depends on the glass and mostly on the thickness. Most of the pieces I've done from 1/4 inch float only show color on the edges. Thicker sections and edges will give you more color and another trick is to give the back a texture to help scatter light. I recently fused some 1 inch squ...
