Re: frits and graniglia
hello friends,what is difference between frits and "graniglia"? Frit is English, Graniglia is Italian. Both mean small pieces of glass. Most often, "graniglia" refers to small pieces of glass that have been fused or melted together but still leaving a rough or granular texture o...

I used to air brush my shelves, before going to paper, but got tired of the scraping and lugging. For what it's worth, Ed Hoy markets a new kiln wash that comes off with a damp cloth. The wash doesn't perform quite as well as Bullseye in terms of avoiding bubbles, but it does work pretty well and l...

Most likely the Czech glass varies from batch to batch and type to type and color to color. The only way to know is to test and try it out yourself. Moretti glass is supposed to be 104, but it's not that consistent across the range. You can have trouble using it for fusing. Again, the only way to kn...

Re: diamond hand pads
Diamond hand pads are available from H.I.S. (hey Brad, why aren't they listed in your resources section?) Damned good question, they ought to be. I'll have to get on my website production team about the oversight. :lol: Diamond hand pads are also available from Crystalite (I think they're the same ...

Yes, it's for real. It's not unusual for thick pieces to require days (even weeks) of annealing time.
Bullseye has some information on annealing for thick pieces on their website: http://www.bullseyeconnection.com/pdfs/ ... _thick.pdf

Re: New Kiln Purchase Decision
Hello. I'm a new to this group and recently finished my first fusing class. I have been researching kilns and have basically narrowed it down to a couple (Paragon and Ken Jen Kilns). The size I am looking for will accept glass plate sizes up to 12" square. My question is..... what is the diffe...

Re: Milled Graphite as a Mold?
Can graphite withstand repeated use and 1500F firings? No. It works fine the first few times, then starts to break down and you end up with a powdery mess. Graphite is best when you touch the glass briefly at high temps, it doesn't work well when it remains at high temp for longer periods of time.

Spray A contains lead which reacts with the French vanilla. Use borax for devit. How you view the reaction makes it a feature or a flaw. To elaborate on Ron's comment: French vanilla (BE 0137) contains sulphur. Spray A contains lead. When the two are mixed, you get lead sulphide and the mustardy co...

Although they burn off most of the time, black sharpie marks do not always burn off. Sometimes (usually when you absolutely don't want them to) they stubbornly remain on the glass. If anyone doubts this, I have several scraps of glass with black sharpie marks still intact I'd be happy to offer as Ex...

Well, the Bullseye I have is pink (I'm not aware that BE ever made anything but pink), the Hotline I have is blue (but they make two Hotlines, regular and high-fire, so one could be blue and one could be pink, I don't know), and the Primo I have is orange (I think we all agree on that).
