Kiln wash curing?
Stupid question time--what is the point in "curing" a freshly kiln washed shelf? I can't see why preheating a fully dry shelf before using it at fusing temps is worth doing. What am I missing here?

Smoothing kiln shelf?
I'm wondering if there is a way to get a smoother texture on my kiln shelf. I don't want to use any paper or other consumable product (other than kiln wash). Anyone had experience with just sanding the shelf, or is there a better idea?

Try bamboo skewers or round toothpicks dipped in thick bead release and allowed to dry. The wood burns out and leaves a hole. The skewers leave a larger hole than toothpicks if that is a consideration. Stainless steel mandrels dipped in bead release also work. Also, make sure you allow enough space ...

Help me fix my grinder!
I've been using the same bit on my Inland Wizard grinder since I got it about 6 months ago. Now I want to change to a channel bit, and I can't get the #%$^& bit off! Hubby has joined in the effort, and we've tried penetrating oil and eventually tried to drill out the screw after the allen wrench...

Okay, here goes: Brian, here's the reference to what I was talking about: http://www.ramoreydesign.com/shelfmelt.html Barbara, I don't have sandblasting equipment, so I still have a problem. What happens to the devit in the final firing if it starts with devit?? Can I just put a devit spray on the p...

Devit, cracked mold & slip-slidin' away
I've got three questions for you learned folks: 1. When you do a fusing of stained glass scraps (same COE, of course), using a wire grid, do you use something to prevent devit? If so, what's the best way to do this? Can you just dunk all the pieces into Borax and water or Spray A? Or do you have a b...

I've been posting under the title "Hen Party" but I've been asked to open up the glass trip to those blessed with testosterone. That's up to you, but for now I've created a central clearinghouse for all messages related to this venture. This message will be posted in several forums to brin...

Thanks, Phil. Is there an advantage to it over plywood? Especially since it absorbs water and expands. I'm thinking of covering my work table, which is an old kitchen table, in a rounded rectangular shape. If I put a sheet of plywood over it I can considerably expand the actual square footage of the...
