Hello ! Please can anybody give me a schedule for firing and slumping a bowl of Car window Glass (I hope I use the right words in English for this material ) Thank you, Jan from Holland

Yes, now I understand the problem: did translate the Dutch word, but now I realise it is bad translation :) Zilverzand (Dutch) = Quartz sand , silica sand or white sand is fine-grained, white, extremely pure sand with low iron content . It consists almost entirely of quartz (SiO 2 ) Now I know it is...

Difficult question, or did I give to little information ? greetings from Holland, Jan

Hello, the link is not working anymore ?? Not so clever, forgot to archive the schedule. Jan

Thank you all for your answers ! Buying Graham stone's book is perhaps not so expensive as I thought earlier (loosing glass etc.) Jan de Jong

@Kevin: Thank you for your answer ! As for the book: Great, but for the few pieces I fire in a year (hobby !) I use the firing schedules from Spectrum. For the first time I did fire a 1 1/2 inch thick piece and did note the wrong things on a piece of paper to set the schedule. Stupid! So, this has h...

Hello ! Did write wrong the firing-schedule of a 37 1/2 cm (1 1/2 inch) thick piece of Spectrum96 on a note for by the kill. The good Step 4 was afap and hold 3 hrs. Now I did fire with this Step 4: 750 C. (1382 F.) to 510 C. (950 F.) and No hold. The piece was broken ! Stupid mistake of course, but...

Okay.....thank you all for your respons ! greetings from Holland, Jan de Jong

@ Steven Richard: Thank you for your answer, but is there a simple, quick firing-schedule known for this stringers ?? I have to do much stringers, so my choice is pre-firing. greetings from Holland, Jan

Hello ! I wonder which simple quick schedule I can use to pre-fire Stringers to avoid rolling ? Jan de Jong

My client (my cousin) desided to choose for tackfuse. With this as result:

Hello ! Has been asked to make a plate for a wedding. The measurement: about 28 x 28 cm. I have already fired the background of 2 layers and now I must apply the wedding couple ......containing 2 layers.... so total 4 layers. Normally I fire the 3rd and 4th layer with a "contour" fuse, but...

@ Jerry: The translation site is not so good, but I did understand what you mean ! Thank you !
Someone who did try firing on wires ? Jan

I don't understand the question :?: Brad Walker writes in his book about this ! Making your own "shards". Possible via a drop (and a square is to prefer) and making a square (RVS) with nichrome wire on it. Sorry, my knowledge of the English language is too poor to explain it on the right ...

Hello! I read about this in the Warmglass book and here on this site.
I wonder what is the best method: Drop square, or a square with wire on it (and what is then the best amount between the wires ??) ??
Thank you for your help ! Jan de Jong

Thank you Jenna ! I did not know they were called nuggets too Jan de Jong

Hello ! Is it possible to make "Pebbles" yourself ? If yes....different diameters ? Thank you for your help ! Jan

Hello ! I did glue the glass on "Trespa". Now on the surface I still must glue the breaks and I intend to do that with epoxy glue. Now I wonder if it is a good idea (or not !) to put some Powder on this breaks to mask them ??? Will this mask the breaks or just make them worse ? Anybody exp...

About point 1: I did contact Bert Weiss and he suggested to fire the UV-glued piece to 200-225 C. with a 15 min. hold. Good chance the glass will be seperated !! Thank you very much Bert !! After cleaning and removing rest of the glue I can refire the piece. I will tackfuse this piece with a (fully...
