Which kiln wash for Core Lite shelves

Hi- I just got a CoreLite shelf for my Skutt1214. Info online about kiln washes for these shelves is mixed. I don’t cast glass, and my highest temp may reach 1470°. I hope to avoid getting any wash stuck to the bottom of my glass, needless to say. Is there a final answer for which wash is preferred ...

Layer and Stack Pre-Fired Stringer Over floral Former?

I have 4 layers of stringer (assembled like fabric) already fired to tack fuse. I've made three of these squares. Now I want to slump them over a floral former, but I want to stack them on top of one another before firing them. I'm hoping what will happen is that each layer of pre-fired stringer wil...

Re: Pitting on the surface of BE Soft Black

Cynthia, to your question about price point: about $160 and that includes the stand! We're a small town, so a typical gallery price point here is $200. I'm going to try the flip/fire technique. I chip open a hole in the black to make a mountain range; once fired, the mt range appears to be floating ...

Re: Pitting on the surface of BE Soft Black

Thanks. What do you think non-glass people think when they see these? Sometimes, I try to get rid of the inner critic and say "other people" don't see what I see. Then other times, these little pits stand out so much in some light that I just can't stand them! Any feelings?

Pitting on the surface of BE Soft Black

I'm firing a 10" round of black 000100-0030 over another 10" round of teckta, on thinfire. I use a small piece of paper towel and BE's glass cleaner to clean the glass first. When I fire, I'm going up 400/hr to 1000, 400/hr to 1450, 9999 to 900, off. What I'm getting after firing are tiny ...
