Is your firing schedule as long as I'm reading it.
100 dph from 1200 to 1500 and then a 20 min soak. That figures out to 3 hours and 20 min to go from 1200 to 1500 and then start to cool.

Hey all, I just talked to a man with 50 years experience sandblasting monuments. He says the small 15 lb pressure pots are good and you can do a lot of work with them but the critical factor is having a compressor that delivers a minimum 35 cfm continuously. So it's the volume of air that is import...

Re: Your Wonderful work
I am a newbie to glass, but your work is wonderful! Can you explain how you made this with the copper? I also from Florida and would like to know if you ever come to south Florida area to teach?

Ron, I love your work! It is some of the best use of copper I've seen. Love the black border around the copper! Keep it up, Jolly Thanks Jolly. Someone mentioned copper and black glass a few weeks ago, was it Brock? Anyway I thought I'd give it a try. It works for sure. Now I have a story to tell y...

Depends on what type of mold you need. Plaster and silica are only good for one trip in the kiln and then they fall apart. They do make good molds but are used mainly for casting glass. For a reusable mold try something like raku clay from a pottery supply store. You can form the clay, dry it, and t...

I've done a number of bowls from float and haven't done anything special other that adjusting the anneal temperature to 1050 f. Float glass seems to stand up to a lot of abuse on heat up. I use about 1500-1525 for full fuse in my kiln. The only problem you might have is devit and a little borax will...

When I bisque fire I set the kiln to heat over a period of about 5 hours to bisque temp ~1700 f and then shut the kiln off. Just let your clay dry to bone dry before firing. Drill some air vent holes before firing too. Here is a link to a cone chart that gives a list of cone firing temperatures and ...
