We've had overwhelming response to the idea of a Warm Glass calendar, and "Calendar Chip" has graciously volunteered to take care of the collating and printing. Stay tuned for an announcement about how to get your hands on a copy -- in the meantime imagine how wonderful it's going to be to...

Ron's probably right. How long you have to expose the sensitized surface is dependent on three factors: the strength and type of light, the type of sensitizer, and how far the light is from the surface. All three have to be the correct ones for your film for it to work.

YOU'RE KIDDING RIGHT LES! Maybe I should travel to China and look for the "artist"......PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ for 1 $5.00 plate from Marshall's...Why not offer some more important input like what to do during this Quarts inversion.............slow down temps? or go faster? Actually, I think L...

If you fire the bottle, it will distort and change shape long before the edge gets shiny and well rounded. Most likely, you'd need to smooth the rim by hand.

They work fine for dams.

Seattle Pottery Supply has these, I believe.

But if it were me, I'd just buy a kiln shelf and cut it up with a tile saw. Cheaper and you get exactly the size you want. Some places will also sell broken shelves at a discount.

I would prefire to 1400F and soak for just a few minutes. Leave the kiln open about an inch until the temperature gets above 1000F. It will stink and may smoke a little. You'll know the binder is out if the color turns back to white. 700F is definitely too low, and a couple of hours is too long. I ...

I believe that Ceraboard is a rigid product (right?), and will stand on edge. If so, then you shouldn't need to rig...

Yes.

Jen-Ken has no website, but the Centre de Verre site has most of their kilns online. Click on sponsor link at top of page.

If you put a bowl in the kiln and fire to 1300 degrees, the edges will probably get a little shinier. More importantly, the bowl will almost certainly distort and lose its shape. Fire polishing generally takes place at 1300 to 1400 degrees, depending on the type of glass and the kiln. Slumping, wher...

Don't do it.

Good ventilation is essential. When I do this, I put the kiln outdoors and wear a respirator. It's not the kiln you have to worry about, it's you and your health.

Yeah, that's what I think, too. I don't use thinfire either, but someone asked about if it would work with the Skamol board. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't, just thought I'd see if anyone had actually tried it.

Has anyone tried thinfire on top of the Skamol board? How did it work?

Odds are very good that these are 90 COE.

[quote="JackHealy"]My point was to demonstrate how important it is to set up descriptions and keywords properly. The reason a $35 investment is a good one is that for folks who aren't as web savvy as you could benefit from keyword optimization and some of the other help found on bCentral. ...

If you want to see the results of what keyword/meta tag optimization will do for you, go to Google and put in: "glass artists". I believe we are the 5th site down - an incredible accomplishment as far as I am concerned. ...and one that I can tell you took months of optimization and employ...

I think the trick is to get Mullite shapes that are either cone shaped or wedge shaped so they fit well and are easy to remove. I would worry about IFB raining crud down. If anybody knows a source for these shapes, please let us know. Pottery supply stores and kiln manufacturers, as well as art sup...

hello friends,what is difference between frits and "graniglia"? Frit is English, Graniglia is Italian. Both mean small pieces of glass. Most often, "graniglia" refers to small pieces of glass that have been fused or melted together but still leaving a rough or granular texture o...

I used to air brush my shelves, before going to paper, but got tired of the scraping and lugging. For what it's worth, Ed Hoy markets a new kiln wash that comes off with a damp cloth. The wash doesn't perform quite as well as Bullseye in terms of avoiding bubbles, but it does work pretty well and l...
