Re: Jewelry adhesive advice

I completely agree with you about the runny epoxy, it's really aggravating. I'll check out Barry's tutorial on E6000. I'm happy to use it because I can buy it anywhere; the Epoxy 330 needs to be ordered, another con. Question? is resist tape different from masking or blue tape? Thanks so much! JaYing

Can I fill in cracks in slumped bowl with frit & re-fire?

I just slumped a customer's beautiful 10" bowl and discovered that it cracked during the slump. I've uploaded a photo to show that there's a 6" "Y" shaped crack on the underside. On the top side (inside of bowl), the crack is less pronounced and, since the pattern is very colorfu...

Re: Two strange developments when I fused

Thanks to everyone who responded. The disappearing frit is an annoyance. I re-fired with opal frit and two colors came out better, but the green pretty much disappeared again. I'll contact the customer and ask her to use brighter frit, and I'll tack fuse. The repair attempt on the hole didn't come o...
