Hate to sound like goodie 2 shoes but my coffin Evenheart has a level lid at this point. Watch next firing it won't be. My problem was with the shelves. No matter what I tried I got bubbles between the shelf and glass with kilnwash. I solve that by using 110-J paper. Have to say if mine warps I migh...

Every year they tell me that they won't let her in the next year. Last year the chair of the standards comittee to...

Hello, I sell the bottles with and without labels. I do attach a flyer with care instructions with each bottle. They include do not put in dishwasher, and do not submerge in water. I would think this is a no brainer but you never know so I do include instructions.

My solution to bubbles between the glass and shelf was to use fiber paper. My personal favorite is 110-J since you get a bizillion uses out of it. Yes it seems a little pricey until you use the stuff. Nice texture also. I sprinkle a little kiln wash on the 110-J and smooth it out with a soft brush w...

Basically all you have to do to get a picture on the back or front of a bottle is glue it on with a glue that won't make the ink run on the picture you are gluing on then put a protective coating over the side of the picture that isn't attached to the glass. This can be decopuge likr Judy said, lami...

Jan, Yes you can remelt it. I would go up a little slower since part of the bottle is thicker than when you started. I fire to between 1425 and 1500 depending which kiln I am using. I also soak for a while. The soak is an eye thing. Fast cool is up to you. One kiln I do and the other I don't. Until ...
