Thanks Vernelle. I'm honored that you remembered and were able to find my post. Candy, these are easy but tedious to make. I mark out the shape on the shelf and lay out the first layer. Tilt the shelf slightly and they will roll/stay together. I then pour on a generous stripe of Klyrfire and let it ...

If you are using denatured alcohol it could be the additives they put in it. I have had devit-like streaks and I believe it is from the alcohol. I usually do a final cleaning wipe with it and I think that's where I'm getting the streaks. I'm switching to rubbing alcohol or maybe even Everclear if it...

Discontinued colors
Lani, Since the topic has come up... What about BE 1411 my Mom's favorite color and BE 0116 - 31? I have managed to find a supply of 1411 thanks to Sara. Do you know why BE discontinued making it? I acquired a half sheet of the Tourquoise Blue Irid from a fellow on eBay. I made a nice piece with som...

Matt is slow in answering his emails but he is just as slow in sending out the statement. I think it's because he has a real job and, having his priorities straight, puts it before us glassies. Have patience, it is well worth the wait. I have four of his rings and they are great. I even thought he w...

Try this
Sharon, I've been toying around with frit and powder and have achieved snowflake like results even though that is not what I was after. Try putting a very thin layer of medium/fine frit (probably white if you want a snowflake) on your shelf and then dust liberally with powder. When taken to full fus...

My preference for airbrushing enamels is Ferro #683. It is a gyycol ether and cellulose ether with alcohol. It mixes to a smooth consistancy which I thin with alcohol for spraying. I like spraying with alcohol based because it dries so quickly but doesn't plug up the gun. Easy cleaning too. I've tri...

Fuse Master and patina
I just finished a big SG project that involved painting some of the pieces. I used Fuse Master transaparent paints and fired to the recommended temp (1175 *F). When I applied black patina to the piece the paint was attacked and much of it came off. It didn't make my day! I have never had that happen...

I bought some dense white for the same reason. I thought the regular white was kinda wimpy looking. I haven't done much with it yet but I did notice the it reacts with French Vanilla. I made a reference tile, using dense white as a base, and one of the small squares I put on it was French Vanilla. T...

I finally gave in and bought a controller and now have another long learning curve. I started out without one because of the expense and I'm glad I did. I think you learn how glass behaves under heat better without the controller. I agree with Jim and Brock that the controller does not absolve you f...

It might not hurt WGBB
I agree with you Charlie but if you do the interview it might help boost Warmglass.com. I'm sure Brad would appreciate the extra exposure.
