Thank you SO much for sharing your knowledge!!! I'm going to try it.

Thank you. Should I have used frit instead of cut pieces so I could layer white underneath? I really wanted the red background.

Some advice would be greatly appreciated! - I started out with a red opal and layered different colors of transparent design pieces. I took it to a full fuse, which I think was a mistake, but I wanted a smooth finish. I was disappointed and a little surprised to find that the red had soaked up all t...

May I add a question to Susan's original question? My kiln is also in an unheated garage. The outside temperature warmed up for a few days to about 50 degrees and I assembled some pieces in my kiln, but I wanted to add two more pieces before firing and I ran out of time. NOW, we are having extreme c...

Thank you Dana! I found the System 96 chart after I looked at the BE one!

Thank you Morganica! I will definitely read your blog tomorrow! That is a good rule of thumb!

Thank you! I was looking for something like this on the BE site, but somehow I didn't find it!

Is there a way to recognize different minerals in the glass ( sulfur, copper, etc.) just by looking at it? I know certain minerals create certain colors, but after all the reading I've done, I've started to realize that a completely different color from what I thought a single mineral would create, ...

Mary Lou - I just finished reading the BE Tech Notes...VERY helpful! Thank you!

Hi Susan! Thanks for the info! I was actually looking at all of Laurie's great stuff! I'm going to have to look more closely!

Hi Mary Lou! The Bonnie Glo only has side elements...I don't know if that makes the difference??? I do not prop my molds up, but after you said that, I might try it out and see if there is any difference, good or bad. I've kinda gotten the impression I've only just begun with the reading!...There is...

Hmmmm....lots to think about! Thanks to all!

I'm sorry Mary Lou! I was actually reading on here for days before I joined and couldn't find what I was looking for. I guess I shouldn't be asking so many questions. :oops: I've been reading up on all of this since January. There is a lot to read. I also have several DVDs. Sometimes it's hard to pu...

Thanks for the advice everyone! My mold is dry and I'm going to re-fire today. With regard to Laurie's schedule - my schedule holds at the peak for 20 minutes, in addition to it being hotter, and yours only 10 - would that be because the ramp up is slower so it's actually slumping slower? Also, how ...

Thanks Bert! You've given me some good advice and things to think of!

Thank you both for your advice! Laurie - How do you decide to slow it down 100 degrees? Do you just get a feel for it? Or is there a rule of thumb? I'm glad you both told me to peek...I keep reading conflicting information regarding opening the kiln. In my mind, it seems I would have to look in orde...

I missed the occasion, but I would have voted...I LOVE this! I hope I can achieve this someday!

Wow! That is gorgeous! That is what I'm aspiring to. Ohhh....One day I hope...

I made a 9" square bowl, with a 2" lip, making the bowl part a 5" square. I used 2 layers of System 96 clear glass that I had previously fused. I made a mold from 1" thick KL board, shaped like a frame so that the bowl would slump down to the kiln floor, however, it did not fully...

Thanks Jim! I will!

Thank you! I'm so glad people on this bulletin are so willing to share their knowledge! I've been reading tons of literature, but sometimes it helps to be able to ask someone about something!
