Thanks for the detailed 'how to" your magnet was one of the most amazing! Thanks so much for sharing! So you don't have to put kilnwash on the pot interiors at all huh?

clear BE irid... qestion

Hi there - sorry to bother you guys but I've searched for this in the archives and apparently I'm the only person who has a hard time telling the irid side on clear BE irid glass. When I was at Corning last year it was described as the "side that had a bit of a drag" indicating the metalli...

Well the results are in for the Paragon GLADTSD 24 - it ain't so pretty... The top shelf as you all predicted fared better at producing a full fuse that the lower shelf ... Oddly the red BE glass over clear is the only one of 4, 7" plates on top that didn't come to full fuse. The 2 Black & ...

Lot's to think about.. Thanks for everybody's ideas.. I certainly hope I don't find a big drippy mess like Geri said! I didn't turn off my top elements - because - duh- I just didn't think of it... I'm not sure 2 shelves is worth it either - but as an experiment and since I don't have alot of days f...

I know ! ridiculous.... yes it has holes.. 2, they are at opposite points on a circle about 3 1/2 " away from dead center -AND in the rim vertical face. I checked them and poked my little bamboo stick in both of them and didn't have to kiln wash it the 2nd time - so little chance of debris gett...
