I just installed a new kiln in the rear of my workshop and noticed that it is on a slight incline. The floor slopes towards a drainage area. This is the only area the kiln will fit, so moving it is not an option. The kiln has somewhere between a 2.5 to 3 degree incline. What are my best options to ...

Welcome to New England. You'll love the area and you'll hardly notice the difference from the SF Bay area :^o ... except that housing is much cheaper, and you'll have to pay for heat :shock: ... and you'll have to wear warmer clothes :roll: Seriously, we have a great glass community in New England....

Hi everyone, I'm moving to Portland, Maine (unfortunately NOT Portland OR) from the wonderful San Francisco Bay Area. Anyone know of any hot glass activity - practitioners, studios, classes, stores, whatever - in that area (Southern Maine area, that is)?? Thanks a lot!! Elizabeth nancy tang - uGotG...

The questions came to me more than once. I guess their is another commecial name. White Liquid paper is the stuff that you can find at stationary store to erase a mistake made by typing. You apply this over your mistake and than re type on top and cannot see that you mess up.They use to sell them i...

So maybe Cheryl should do an article for a well-distributed glass magazine entitled, "The Biggest Lie In Fusing". And then proceed to give some history that is actually accurate. Then we can send copies of the article to all the liars. What do you think? :idea: lolol wouldn't that stir th...

That reminds me...I went to a large craft show last November. I browsed at one kiln-formed glass booths, and the fellow came over and said to me that his glass company was the ONLY one in Canada that uses compatible tested fusing glass. He obviously didn't notice that at least one other glasser at ...

I may be missing something very obvious, but how do those of you with tiles saws with submersible pumps deal with the water issue? Keeping running water going is a huge waste and it seems like every few minutes I have to empty the pan and find a sloshing place for glass grit water. I only got it a ...

[quote="dee] check at michaels for dip -n etch, soak for a couple of hours, should take care of it - if not, soak longer.... don't know why you got devit, i don't generally have a problem except under very specific conditions, but never on a one firing piece and alot of times not even on a mul...

Hi, I'm new here! I've recently started making jewerly with dichroic glass and I've noticed that after firing, the dichroic layer seems to crack (like gold leaf) and/or shrivel somewhat. It looks kind of nice but I'm also looking for a smooth finish. I make sure the dichro layer faces clear glass, ...

Hi all! I am finally in the market for my very first NEW kiln. Here is what I am after.....since my small tabletop kiln (which I bought VERY used) has a pyrometer that "died" last night (AND The thermocouple just "fell off"!!!!), I feel that the kiln is not going to last too muc...

I'm confused. Will the Taurus III mega blade cut pattern bars?

Well here is my latest findings... I called Costco and spoke to them last night. They were VERY excited with my call and promised to send an e-mail with information about software etc "shortly" Monday Night. Well it is now 24 hours later and no word from them. I tried calling them just be...

I'm looking to do lots of production cutting of 1/8" glass, all straight cuts. I tried a cheap tile saw from Home Depot, but it chipped the edges too much and the blade is thick so it creates a lot of rough grit that gets in the way. I'm thinking of trying a lapidary slab saw because they come...

I have a piece - all BE - that has a devit problem. It's a combination of pattern bars and solids, a BE yellow and 0124 Red. The red devitrified on the first full fuse firing at 1480F. All of the glass had been cleaned with isopropyl alcohol before firing. I don't yet own a sandblaster, so I used s...

i also noticed that texture in the pics today when i checked out the link to tekta and have a few sheets of the machine rolled in the studio and yes, they are perfectly wonderfully flat....
