Bert,

I've never heard of a tripod glass drill where can you get one or is there a website I can see one.

Val

Thanks for all the input.
Primo is regular not new and improved.

I think I will avoid primo in future, though I fired again last night and got beautiful results. I can't rely on it though.

Dee,Cynthia,

Hotline is Primo. Tried one blank and it turned out beautifully but then tried the piece I really wanted to turn out well , and it had a haze. I soaked at 1450 for 3 mins longer.

Val

I have recently bought Hotline Kiln Primer and followed instructions: that is to fire to 500 degrees F and hold for 10 minutes. My question is should I let the Primer dry completely before I fire or fire to dry? I am having a problem with a haze on the bottom of 96 after firing at following schedule...

Thank you Deborah Suzanne and Judy,

I will see what I can find and try them all. Tried Wellbond this week and it didn't work too well, I just tried it on two globs left it for at least 24 hours and it came apart with litle persuasion.

I'm trying to find some glue that will stick glass to glass as in findings to jewelry or just to attach in small areas. Can you please tell me what you use and where to purchase it.


Thanks in advance

Val

How much use would Art Calendar be to somebody living in Onatrio Canada?

Thanks for all the replies they helped me decide on my second kiln. Decided on 240v

Original is a 240v and I was thinking about a 120v but wanted lower electric bills over long term ( always thinking about long term)

Thanks Larry, that helped to confirm what we thought might be the case.

Val

I checked the archives but can't find the answer to my question.

I have been told that a 120v kiln is more of a draw on elecricity than a 240v, and that the 240v is more efficient. Are there any electricians our there who can answer my question. I have a 240v now and was thinking of getting a 120v

Thanks all who replied. Looks like your longshot was right Cynthia. I used a different sheet of glass and all is well.

I'm slumping a fused blank, base is Spectrum 96 clear, straight on kilnshelf.

Rate 370 to 1250
hold 20 minutes
then as fast as possible to 950
hold 30

I keep getting a haze on the underside of clear bowls when slumping. This doesn't appear to be devitrification. I have used 2 different molds and have the same problem. It doesn't feel rough but looks like it is cloudy. tried various rates (all slow) nothing seems to help. Can anybody please help. :...

Thank You Lisa I'll give that a try

I relatively new to warm glass work and I'm having a problem with slumping a clear and cathedral "96 spectrum" bowl. I have resulted in a frosting or haze in various degrees. After searching the archives I think I maybe slumping to fast. Slumped as follows Rate 370 Temp 1100 Hold 0 As fast...
