What is liquid white paper? I am assuming by the conversation it is a type of paper one can get at office depot?

I use glass tac. Never get a film after firing. It dries slowly. You can get the glass tac through BE.

Hi Pat: You can purchase the etch creme at any hobby store, got mine at Micheals. Sorry, can't remember the brand name. I pour the solution straight from the bottle into a tupperware container. Then I place my glass in the container and leave sit for 10 minutes or so. Then I remove, wash and dry. We...

Exploring the Drop Ring

Brad:
Just wanted to say great article you wrote for the batch insert in Glass Craftsman.

For those of you who have been asking drop ring/mold questions the last week - you should really get this article.

Geri:
Do you have the drop ring shown on your site? Would love to see it in color

I dip my saw cut pieces in etch bath for 10 minutes - wash throughly then apply super spay and fire away - they always come out nice.

glad your having a good time! kiln forming is very addictive.
You do NOT pre-fire thinfire. I use the thinfire all the time. Love it!! You'll really notice a difference in the backside of your piece using thinfire instead of firing directly on the shelf or using fiber paper.

Mali:

I do not change my kiln wash until it starts to chip off - I can get several firings before having to "re wash". You'll definitly see when it needs to be redone.

I have been wanting to try this also - I have one question, okay this might be elementary but here goes - how do you get the sand back out of the kiln???

I am assuming you'd just use a wet vac?
