Thats it!!!!!! Thanks alot your awesome!!!!!!!!

I have so many projects running I need more Hands and more time in a day. I have a small 4in tile saw, a little work horse I have been using for years now. I got these little thin blades a couple years back, good blades thin and cheap, like $5 a blade. Somehow lost the link or he may not be doing th...

A three prong dryer cord ties the neutral directly to the chassis ground. Tony Correct. The 4 prong is now the updated code here. 2 hot 1 neutral 1 ground. I have read many things connect the hots then.... 1 - take the neutral and ground and connect to the chassis 2 - Leave off the neutral, it is u...

I do mainly frit casting , I kilnwash all of my molds using a airbrush with several coats toss them in the kiln dry them and repeat. I also use slide 1800 boron spray, overkill maybe after losing a couple of molds I rather be safe than sorry. Anyway I bought some kilnwash some time ago and it is nea...

I've never seen an infinite switch used with a relay. Is that how the Norman is set up? Tony I was looking at the DIY kits for the digital controller i thought it was more complicated then just a switch. Finally got the controller off and open, they built these like a tank BTW. I do have a question...

I'm not sure what you're asking. Infinite switches usually come as a switch block with push-on spade lugs on the back. Sometimes you can get them with a knob and indicator bezel as well. Tony Sorry I am Computer tech I expect everything to be plug-n-play. I was looking for complete units with switc...

No, not really. You can expect a kiln that size to draw about 30 amps at 240 volts or 7200 watts. Thats about 1500 Watts/cubic ft for your kiln. Even the most efficient kilns use about 800 Watts/cubic foot which gets you down to about 16 Amps at 240 volts. You're still talking about rewiring power ...

Ok guy this weekend I picked up very old kiln, it is about 18in high and 24in wide inside. It has elements on the bottom and sides. It has an old pyro-meter VU meter style, and is 220v. The issue I have is the 220v, we rent and unplugging the dryer every time will end up driving my wife crazy. Since...

Also, noticed that all my frit molds are pretty much hollow on the bottom. is this to save money and material? What i want to know is that if I take a 6"x6" slab 1" thick, then bake it to bisque, this should be a sturdy, heavy mold. might take more time to cool down, will this work?

How many firings can i get out of using clay if Plaster of Paris is around 10. Just thinking that if clay is an option, i could make a 6-7" square slab, knead it to get all the air out of it, then press my piece in which would be maybe 1/2" deep, which would still give me a 1/2" of st...

I have read about using slip to make a mold, my idea would be to make several sculpey pieces in a box the size of or near the size of the bottom of my kiln and pour the slip in, let dry and pull the pieces out. The other method I read was with clay, press in your hard object and bake the clay then u...

Sometimes I think this place is a blessing and a curse. A blessing that it has some many incredible people with vast knowledge and a curse because when I learn something new I go full steam ahead. Ok so here is my issue, I bought this mold for frit casting and love it to death. I messed up was not w...

I am actually fusing glass, using the jewelry molds and what ever others i can find. for the most part the kiln wash and the 1800 BN spray work great. my tops are nice and the sides are too, the bottom have a textured finish but for the most part they are the back of the piece, which does allow for ...

Hey guys have question about molds for fusing glass. I have been using the standard molds, kiln washed with airbrush, several coats, kiln dried between coats, then as a double precaution I use the boron spray on top of the kiln wash. After each firing I have a soft brush I use to clean the mold and ...
