I looked up sulfur content of bamboo and it can be pretty high, so that appears to be the source of the sulfur, with the microbiological experiment inside the closed bucket being the cause. No more haik brushes left in the bucket for me! Happy Thanksgiving glass people!

I had mixed some kilnwash a couple of months ago, and rather than rinsing the haik brush out, I left it in the kiln wash in a closed, plastic container (an old kiln wash cup). When I went to use it recently, I was almost overcome by hydrogen sulfide gas (rotten egg smell). The haik brush was covered...

I'm no fusing expert, that's for sure, but it looks like your first program is un-necessarily slow heating from 1250 to 1480 (since you can't thermal shock the glass in that temp range), and it looks like your long hold at 1250 may also be contributing to de-vit, although I always thought de-vit onl...

Is it possible your kiln temperature control is losing reliability? (running hotter than you think)

Wasn't $6/ounce silver nice! (I remember buying it at ~$3.50/oz not long before these 2004 posts, and now it's at what, $30/oz?)
