Re: diamond hand pads
Diamond hand pads are available from H.I.S. (hey Brad, why aren't they listed in your resources section?) Damned good question, they ought to be. I'll have to get on my website production team about the oversight. :lol: Diamond hand pads are also available from Crystalite (I think they're the same ...

Yes, it's for real. It's not unusual for thick pieces to require days (even weeks) of annealing time.
Bullseye has some information on annealing for thick pieces on their website: http://www.bullseyeconnection.com/pdfs/ ... _thick.pdf

Re: New Kiln Purchase Decision
Hello. I'm a new to this group and recently finished my first fusing class. I have been researching kilns and have basically narrowed it down to a couple (Paragon and Ken Jen Kilns). The size I am looking for will accept glass plate sizes up to 12" square. My question is..... what is the diffe...

Exactly. If you want to subscribe to a magazine on the business side of glass, subscribe to The Crafts Report: http://www.craftsreport.comJerry wrote:Have the magazine, it's okay but I doubt if I'll renew.

Re: Milled Graphite as a Mold?
Can graphite withstand repeated use and 1500F firings? No. It works fine the first few times, then starts to break down and you end up with a powdery mess. Graphite is best when you touch the glass briefly at high temps, it doesn't work well when it remains at high temp for longer periods of time.

Spray A contains lead which reacts with the French vanilla. Use borax for devit. How you view the reaction makes it a feature or a flaw. To elaborate on Ron's comment: French vanilla (BE 0137) contains sulphur. Spray A contains lead. When the two are mixed, you get lead sulphide and the mustardy co...

Although they burn off most of the time, black sharpie marks do not always burn off. Sometimes (usually when you absolutely don't want them to) they stubbornly remain on the glass. If anyone doubts this, I have several scraps of glass with black sharpie marks still intact I'd be happy to offer as Ex...

Well, the Bullseye I have is pink (I'm not aware that BE ever made anything but pink), the Hotline I have is blue (but they make two Hotlines, regular and high-fire, so one could be blue and one could be pink, I don't know), and the Primo I have is orange (I think we all agree on that). I also have ...

Re: Death of an Organization
I'm off to the AGM of the BC Glass Arts Association tonight. AGM? Association of Glass Melters? Artists Giving Money? Or maybe Angry Group of Men? Apathetic Gang of Munchkins? Or is it Ants Go Marching? (Hurrah! Hurrah!) And I assume BC stands for Beyond Caring. ....... Hate to see the organization...

It's not critical on small work, although I have seen shelf/air bubbles in as small an area as 50 sq. inches. Got one the other day on a piece that was 3 1/2 inches square. That's 12.25 square inches. And the shelf had been fired once before. I didn't think that was possible. Just for the record, i...

Have you tried posting on a jewelry/metalsmithing board? Artists who work in Japanese metal blends like mokume gane could probably advise you ... also about milling the sheets to desired thickness. Good idea about posting on a metalsmithing board, I'll try that. This isn't an isue of milling, as fa...
