I think I know the answer but would like someone to tell me who knows for sure: Is BE or URBOR IRS side up and food compatible? like in dinner and salad plates?

I'd like to post a picture, but I guess my brain is out to lunch - just how is it done?

Marge

Venting by opening a window is good - but a small fan pulling more air out is even better - I can realy tell the difference when I turn the fan on.
And, yes I would do some sort of venting, even if you don't use paints, fiber paper, etc, etc. It's just a good habit to get into.

Hi-fire wire, is just that - Hi-fire wire. So, no, It doesn't burn out.

Did you say that you using your kiln in the house?
Or is it in the garage, basment, etc.?
I hope/assume your using some of means of venting it? Please tell us yes.

:D Yes I have. Not so much fiber board, but I've used 1/8" and 1/4" fiber paper. Just yesterday I fired a layer (or a stack) of six - 1/4" fiber papers to make a napkin ring. Needs to be trimed and fired polished, but it does work. I've also used the 1/4" fiber paper to make hole...

Just a thought - may not mean anything - but how about dicro surface to dicro surface? was that a factor?

I just hate it when the kiln gods make us look bad, like we don'thave enough to wory about.

It seems to me, and I have always felt, that - that's what their part of the commision covers - selling, dusting, being responsible for it while in their store. If they purchase it outright from an artist or from the local Gift Mart, etc. they'd have to eat the cost if a customer broke it! Why do th...

I've made mine taller by sitting 1-2 short stilts ontop of the former, (If you use the right stilts, it will balance out) THEN a circle or 1/4" firber board on top of that (the cir. is about 1-1.5" larger than the top of the former), -makes for a bigger base. THEN - I cut a circle of thin ...

After all the above post, I haven't read one person mention "hi-fire wire". If you want to fire the bead with the wire in it, thats the way to go. I buy it in thin for jewelry and heavy for hangers. It does fire out to a black that has to be cleaned with alco. and a Q-tip. I believe you ca...

:D Buying whould be the easiest, but not the answer, as the I'm trying to salvage about 15 finished pieces that were destroyed when a car crashed into the studio. I did check out the archives and learned a lot. But, like any good lazy person, I'm looking for the fastest way since I have so much to d...

:o I'm looking for one of those glass crushing machines, it was something like a garbage disposal (I think). Does anyone out there know who might carry/sell them, or even if their still making them - OR- even just a better way than a hammer on the cemment floor. Have lots to crush for a couple of pr...

Randy: you know what they say - a picture is worth a thousand words

Thank you two thousand so much - and every one else for all the input - this is why I think glass people are just the coolest - OR the hotest?

Randy - I guess I'm behind the times - I understand the concept of pot melting, and have seen it done at Bulleyes years ago. My question is: what are you using for the pot? I love the whole idea of doing this as last year a car ran into the display area of my studio and I lost about 15 pieces. I was...
