I tried to get into Arrowmont, but alas it is full. Does anyone know of any other summer classes, preferably longer than a single day or weekend? Please let me know if you do.
Thanks

How fast to fire a pot melt
Can anybody please tell me how fast to get up to 1600+ degrees for a pot melt? Or does it even matter?

Can I re-fire an uprising and fix it???
I fired a single layer of BE black an dgot an uprising in the middle of it. It didn't get very thin in the middle of the uprising, so if I re-fire it will it go down? I know that they are caused by firing too fast, but I've used this program before with no problem. Please HELP!

BE Gold Purple & Devit
It is only on the top side of the glass. It is kind of spotty scum and the fiber paper appears to have all burned off. I've not had any problem with that before.

Tanquerey bottle
If I remember correctly from my bartending days, the seal is made of red sealing wax. More of a plastic than wax. However, they may have switched to metal for cost reasons.

What cold working equipment to buy?!
I haven't done much coldworking on my kilnworked pieces as of yet. But, after seeing several artists pieces that have extensive coldworking involved, I want to move up myself. I am currently looking at sandblasters for starters, but which next- hand held wet sander, wet belt grinder or flat lap. I k...

Taurus 3
Had mine about 2 weeks now. LOVE IT!!! Man does it eat through the glass. Cuts in all directions. My only concern is the width of the cut. Is there a narrower blade? But it is awesome.

cutting float glass-what am I doing wrong?
Just started trying to cut a piece of float glass, and every time I try to cut strips; something is wrong. Either it doesn't follow the score or it just like splinters and comes off in pieces. All my cutters are either Toyo or Fletcher-Terry. I've tried lighter pressure too. I've tried using running...

fusing with float glass
When fusing with float glass, which sides are supposed to touch? (tinned to tinned, tinned to untinned or what) And can you fuse with frit, powder and confetti in between the layers?
Thanks

Fusing with GNA
Can anyone tell me the firing characteristics and times for fusing with GNA 90? I am specifically interested in the thicker glass of their's. It has no bubbles in it and that's what makes it attractive to me.
