. . . At WGW last fall the biggest problem I heard about was the poor quality of instruction that is rampant in our midst. Learning to fuse one weekend and teaching the next isn’t going to build us the kind of reputation for quality work that is demanded by professional organizations such as GAS. ...

I developed the Craig Shuffle, (where I reach into the kiln, pick up the loaded mold, and shake it around to center the blank perfectly) in response to problems I was having with slumping into woks. Beats flattening and re-slumping. Also, try a small bevel on the bottom edge of your blank, right whe...

I can't argue with your theory Charlie, but I have repeatedly done this, and to the human eye, there is no difference when re-flattened after slumping. I have done it mostly on bowls with geometric designs where, if the blank does not perfectly slump to the bottom and exact center of the mold, I can...

Well I think your response would deter people from trying. From doing it many times I can assure people that it works, most, if not all, of the time. In your case, where the glass stretched, all you had to do was go a little hotter, or stay hot a little longer, and your piece was salvaged. The diffe...

I don't have a definitive answer either, but the overwhelming preponderance of anecdotal evidence suggests that more problems occur with SiC. I am positive it is NOT a cleaning issue. I agree it is not a problem with surface blasting, which leads me to surmise that it may have something to do with t...

Yes, Brad has given you sound advice. I have flattened, then reslumped bowls many times. There is lots of information on this Board, but it's not all good. You have to learn to assess it. Interestingly, here is one of the topics from the upcoming BECon: Internet Education in Glass: Is Lunch Really F...
