Hi. I recently bought a flat lap wheel and while I LOVE it, I'm a bit frustrated how to get the dried bits of cerium oxide out of some of the small bubbles after the polishing step. Is it just a matter of wetting the piece and then digging them out with a toothpick? Any hints or tips would be greatl...

The element at the base was shot. Once I hooked up one of the lid's elements to the electrical connections of the base, it lit up. All in all it was a great experience for me as I rid myself of the anxiety of opening the electrical box by getting in there and moving wires around to troubleshoot the ...

I finally got it to work! All three elements are now working! Thanks to all who gave their 2¢. It's much appreciated.

So... I changed out all three relays. Learned a lot by doing it. Turned the kiln on and the two lid elements worked!!! I was so happy... BUT... Now the element around the base of the kiln DOESN'T WORK!! I know I didn't mess any of the wiring up as I did it slowly and meticulously. Double ARG!!! Help!

I will look into it. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Could it be a relay issue?

I appreciate the feedback. It seems like it's getting a tad beyond my comfort zone in terms of opening the electrical box and fiddling around. I'll need to have it looked at.

Know anyone in So. Cal that services kilns?

I've replaced the element with a brand new one. It still isn't working. Grumble. The lid's outer element is working but the newer is causing me grief. All connections seem correctly installed.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Thanks so much. I'll wait until the kiln cools down before I investigate closer.

Is the overlapping tip a quick repair? Would the element still heat up or is it shot?

I'm right in the middle of a project, naturally.

Thanks for answering, btw.

Hi. I have a bathtub-sized kiln from Evenheat. The top lid has two heating elements; One around the edge of the lid top and one more centered. I think the centered one isn't working, as my kiln stopped ramping up to anything hotter than 1185•. I glanced inside the kiln and it wasn't illuminated oran...
