Re: Why do kiln shelves break?
That must have been it! I had the 12" BE square slumper mold sitting directly on the kiln shelf. What a great idea to set them on kiln posts directly on the kiln floor...duh! Thanks all. Shipping of kiln shelf to Maui = as much as the kiln shelf (approx $80 + $80 UPS ground)...price of living ...

Re: Photographing glass
My husband has generously offered to photograph my finished pieces and asked what is being used to prop up pieces to photograph them with a solid backdrop (so the prop doesn't show up in the photo). I've looked at a lot of the posted photos and most look like they are overhead shots or side shots. ...

Re: Fiber floor kiln
Thank you all so much for the advice. No matter how many books I read, it’s always a total surprise to me when I open the kiln.

Re: Kiln Venting
If I were to install a venting kit would that effect my other work? Can that be shut off/on or is it constantly on? I am thinking that maybe I could just vent during float glass firings... I would use a motorized vent when firing shelf paper, glass paints, and decals. You can turn off the vent at a...

Re: Why do kiln shelves break?
Opened my kiln this morning after a slump firing to 1275 and found that the 21" diam. kiln shelf had a crack straight down the center. :( What causes kiln shelves to crack? Old age? Shelf and mold were not freshly kiln-washed. Best place to buy replacement? Best shelves? BE doesn't sell round ...

Re: Paragon kiln coating or diluted kiln cement
The local Evenheat dealer suggested to use a thin wash of kiln cement and explained the process, this sounds fine to me. Then found this product http://www.paragonweb.com/Liquid_Kiln_Coating.cfm . It specifically mentions that it is not kiln cement. Wondering if anyone has used either, or found a b...

Needs Help with Arrow Springs Temperature Controller
Hi,
I have a friend who is having problems with an Arrow Springs temperature controller. She bought the kiln but hasn't used it. I am looking for someone who owns an Arrow Springs who can help my friend with her controller. Please send an email to arnoldhoward@att.net.
Thanks,
Arnold Howard
