I don't know why, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I tried my file transfer program today and I keep getting "connection error" messages. I'm technically challenged and I can't get a hold of my computer knowledgeable friend. I'll let you know when I figure it out.

See if these links work.

GASP!!! Cut it into strips? But it looks so cool the way it is. But you're probably right, I bet it does look cool inside too. Back to the lab for more experiments (diabolical laughter)

The pots are a one time use, but you can pick up a 6" pot for about .60 cents a piece.
I didn't get any devit.
I heated as fast as possible to 1625°, held for an hour, crash cooled to 1100° then annealed and usual for a 1/4" thick piece.

Have fun.

4 - 5/8" above the shelf.

5/8" thick strips of a cut up kiln shelf resting on 4" kiln posts. I think varying the height will change the tightness of the swirling. Need to do more tests.

You should try it, it's not that hard and I don't think you could mess anything up. Fill a clean flower pot with glass and fire away. Experiment with scrap first. I take it up to 1625° and held for about and hour. Then annealed as normal. They come out 1/4" thick when done. I haven't slumped t...

http://users.wi.net/~magnum/Yellow/114.JPG Here is another pot melt. This time I used equal parts of Spectrum clear and yellow opal with a few small strips of black. (click on link below) http://users.wi.net/~magnum/Yellow/111.JPG I used 44 0unces of glass and ended up with an 11-1/4" diameter...

I didn't jiggle the pot, the glass just came out that way. I believe it has to do with how the glass is placed in the pot. I have one cooking in the kiln right now. I took a peek and it appears to have the same ripple effect. I took a before pic of how I stacked the pieces. I'll post it tomorrow. Ra...

http://users.wi.net/~magnum/Melt/PotDrop.JPG Here is a picture of yesterdays pot melt experiment. (The small disk is the bottom of the flo :D wer pot.) I'm very happy with the results but a bit confused. I started out with all transparent glass and it came out opaque. I used Spectrum fusible glass, ...
