I am probably butting in here but I just read this thread for the first time. This could be a random thought and probably isn't related at all but here it goes. Could there be a connection between the color saturation with red and a black and white photograph of something red reading grey? Amy Hopfu...

I'm having trouble visualizing this, can you try to explain it better.

Why can't you put the paint on in the last fuse firing?

Are you using the oil base PP, or the powders?

Amy

Claudia, it has a water feed.

I actually haven't used mine yet, hopfully next week.

Phil and Doug can shed better light on this.

Amy

I use Kerodex 71. It's a wax base cream that you set with cold water creating a bearier. I have to be careful though because my hands are slick and I have to hold the glass tighter.

Amy

I paid around $400 for the grinder, backer pad, and 4 or 5 discs.

The phone number is 1800-328-7094

I just did this the other day and I didn't need any mortar. I have different kilns than yours so not sure.

The bricks in the lid and floor are mortared together but not the walls. The walls are held together with a steel strap to make rings.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

I can't really comment on good or bad teachers that I've had. I certainly have had a range. As a student looking to take some classes or workshops I usually go through a screening of who I might want to learn from. First, I look at their work, this is really important for me. If I think their work s...

I have the 4" ones. I don't have a part number.
Sorry I can't help more.

Yep, I guess I got one of the last ones. Hmm.
Amy

Are you looking to use the mold many times?
How intricate are you looking to get?
Amy

Huh? When did you call?
I called a week and a half ago and ordered it and it arrived a few days later.
Amy

Nope. I have slabs cookin right now that hopfully will christen the new toy next week.

Hi Delores, I've had the catherdral strike to opal (red). I'm using BE. Once it has striken it doesn't really continue to shift, but my work only goes through one high fire. That is the only color I use that does this. Last Oct. @ SOFA I had a conversation with Miriam DiFiore about red frit. Keep in...

I got my set up in the $800 range. It's a cabinet, pressure pot, and foot switch.

Amy

Some people use kiln wash, some people use fiber paper. It's and experience thing and really depends on if you are using opals or catherdrals and if you have a sand blaster.

Amy

The tool is called Felisetti. I probabaly spelled it wrong. I just bought one but haven't used it yet. Phil Hoppes has one too and he has done some great work with it in addition to Doug.

Amy

PS. Be sure to order the 4" flexable backing plate.
