Just wanted to say it was soooo nice meeting Stuart over the week-end while I was doing a show. Didn't know anyone was in Florida with the exception of Jim (the Hobbyist). Thanks for coming in my booth, glad to meet ya

Sold my first few things to a gift shop. They asked me to put artist tags on the work. What do I put on the tags. Do a do a short bio or do I describe how the piece is done? all advice is welcome.
Bobbie

I have been doing the art show circuit for 14 years and have only sold to stores when they come in my booth. I was just kicked out of all the shows for my upcoming season (8 shows) It's too late to apply to other shows, as the deadlines have all ready passed for Jan and Feb shows. Can you give me ad...

You can try crest molds, much better quality then alpine.

Soaking and razor blades is what I use. Don't try to burn off in kiln, any glue that wasn't cleaned off will leave traces on finished bottle

Hmmm, that's the bubble squeeze going slow from 1100 to fusing temp. The only thing I can suggest is maybe holding longer at the 1100, 20 or 30 min. I thought I would have that problem too when I switched, but I didn't. There has to be other people out there doing bottles. What's everyone using for ...

I have used kokomo k11 for fusing, I used the superspray on it and it fused very nicely.
Bobbie

I do the bottles separate, can fit 5 to 6 at a time depending on size of the bottle. Clear ones are blah, and they don't sell, neither do the amber. People seem to like the green and the blue the best.
Bobbie

I tried the new schedule and I'm not getting bubbles, maybe because I fire on thin fire. Have you tried holding longer at 1100? Ramping full power from 1100 up cut 1 hour off the total time.
Bobbie

I don't spray my bottles. I have slumped about 70 and have never had devit.
Bobbie

thanks, I'll try it
Bobbie

I have been trying to do two firings a day, slumping bottles. Does anyone have a firing schedule a bit faster then this one
500 to 1100 10 min hold
250 to 1300
full to 1500 5min hold
full to 950 30 min hold

this one works great but takes too long, any suggestions would be helpful
thanks
Bobbie

If you will no longer use the e-6000, what will you use in it's place. just curious because I have been using the e6000 to glue my mirrors to fused glass.
Bobbie

Leslie, let me know what the company says. I have been using e6000 to glue my mirrors also. Haven't had any problems but would like to know what the company tells ya
Thanks
Bobbie

I am using two pieces of double strength float glass. Would like to fuse it and then slump it in a separate firing.
Bobbie

I need to fire a 16" round circle made of float glass. What temperture do I need to go to and what temperture to anneal at??? Also how long for the annealing. Thanks for your help have been working only with spectrum and some bullseye.

sorry, I don't understand. How do you add weights to the rim???
Bobbie

thanks for your help. I have been ramping at 400 degrees, do you think that's too fast??
Bobbie

I did a fluted 7" drop ring, and one side slipped down more then the other so it is an uneven drop. What causes this to happen.
Bobbie

Can you guys and gals give me an idea of how much you are selling your drop ring candle holders and vases for. I plan on putting them in the metal stands.
