Re: Kiln Wash Won't stick in mold
:?: I have a new ceramic mold and the BE kiln wash will not stick to one small spot. I even tried leaving a thin puddle over the spot when I baked it, but no good, it came right off. What should I do to make it stick? Hopefully, Ross You probably don't have to do anything. It's common for ceramic m...

Re: Distance from top elements to glass?
[quote="db]A thread a few weeks ago on craft web gave me the impression that there's a point of insulation thickness (I remember 6") after which it becomes a heat sink and begins to degrade efficiency. But that was folks who run their furnaces and lehrs for days, not hours. [quote] Sounds ...

Re: Distance from top elements to glass?
I've just had my big side-element kiln retrofit with ceiling elements, so it can be used as a top-broiler, so to speak. I'm using it to slump lots of small pieces of glass, on corrugated stainless steel sheet. Question: how close can I safely place the glass to the top elements? 6"? 4"? I...

I also am curious about how many of the WG board members went to Vegas. If I could figure out how to attach a poll to this post, I'd do it. Brad, am I dreaming, or did I see some sort of poll capability to this new-fangled board you've gotten us all so (almost) well trained on? No, you weren't drea...

Is it dangerous 2 sand n whats it like with ' corosive ' stuff like fluxes / copper etc http://www.warmglass.com/sheep.gif There's nothing in their materials about safety, wearing a mask, or anything like that. I've asked for an MSDS, so will see what that contains. I doubt if they've tried every f...

Actually, it's easier than using cerium oxide. You can just use cheesecloth to smooth by hand, or if you want something really smooth than use a buffer attached to a regular drill (or just a car buffer without the cerium). I've fired the sample shelf I have four times and so far haven't had any stic...

Couldn't agree more, Sara. There are a number of things about the company that worry me, starting with their discount structure to retailers (it's horrible), their sales materials (lots of mispellings and such), and the lead times to get the shelves (way too long). But the version of the product I'm...

No Troubles with Bubbles
brad - the fusion shelves - are they smooth? also what about bubbles on larger pieces? D Very smooth. No bubbles at all. My understanding is that when they first introduced the shelves they did have troubles with bubbles, but they seem to have solved that problem. I'm using a 12" square shelf,...
