Does Ebay let you advertise your website? I thought they stopped doing that a long time ago? Also, for a small, easy to use web hosting service, what do you recommend. Need something small and easy.

Anyone use "527 Cement" to Glue on Bails to Fused

Has anyone used this product? I was told by my stained glass store that it is very good for fusing bails to glass (fused). I've been using E6000 and it sometimes comes off with humidity and perspiration. Any one have 527 experience?

I've tried Mineral Spirits, the goo stays. I am using a very expensive coated adhesive back paper that is very smooth when etching with an exacto knife.

I have the bracelet mold (large) and the graphite tongs. I just don't remember how to measure the glass. Is it the wrist size less one inch and then slump it on the mold? Any one with experience with this, please help. Thanks.

Need basic help on preparing to slump simple project....

I've never slumped before. I want to slump a small vase with some dichroic. Do you FIRST have to fire the glass (fuse) before slumping? Also, how do you determine the exact size and shape to place over the mold? Is there a slumping for idiots tutorial or video I can get my hands on? Thanks.

Can those that have a Bartlett 3 Controller (my new Kiln is Jen Ken 14 inch, 120 Volt, 17 Amp) answer my previously posted question: Do you leave the house/studio while the kiln is on? Has anyone ever had the Bartlett 3 key controller fail and start to ramp up without stop? Thanks.

Uroboros 90 coe Clear Caps on Dichroic Pendants

I was told that Uroboros machine rolled and hand rolled clear glass as a clear cap makes dichroic pendants unbelievably clear after fusing. Does anyone have any experience with this glass for this purpose? My bullseye caps are not as clear as the Uroboros. Thanks.
