Bullseye would say about half that, or less. http://www.bullseyeglass.com/methods-id ... slabs.html
They don't have 9mm in their chart, so to be conservative go with 12mm or even 19mm, which are still below 12 hours.

Re: 2020 Ornament Exchange
No number needed. The email was mistaken.
But 40 is the right number.
Thanks and looking forward to seeing your ornaments. They're starting to come in already!

Re: Kiln electrical question
You want it on the 60 amp. Don't install a 45 amp fuse, the fuse needs to be at least 10% (15% to 20% is better) higher than the what the kiln draws. So if a kiln draws 45 amps, a breaker of 60 amp is what you want.

Re: dremmel suggestions
We just get those inexpensive diamond point sets, which have a lot of different bits (sometimes called points or burrs). They're all made in China, I would imagine by somebody like Hans: https://www.hansinc.com/ https://www.harborfreight.com/diamond-point-rotary-bit-set-20-pc-69653.html https://www....

Re: Ceramaguard for carving?
I use it for carving all the time. You can carve it with any tool that will carve wood or a linoleum block. I carve more intricate designs with a CNC machine. After carving, you can kiln wash or use a sheet of thinfire over the Ceramaguard. The thinfire will hold together fine for the firing and wil...

Re: Light weight Kiln Shelf
I would only use Ceramaguard as a small shelf, not a large one. And it's actually best used to build small pieces on (square foot or less) and transport to the kiln, where I'd put them on a regular shelf or on LOTS of posts for support. It's not really feasible as a large kiln shelf, but it's easy t...

2020 Ornament Exchange
As some of you know, Warm Glass ran an annual "Magless Exchange" from 2002 to 2015. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone’s creativity and techniques come alive in your magnets. We decided it is time to bring it back but change things up by doing ornaments this time! For those of you that ...

Re: looking for a clamping solution
I'm pretty sure you can make larger wooden clamps. Try Googling "make your own wooden clamps"
And it's entirely possible that both you and I are crazy....

Mine's a decade old, so I'm sure they don't make that model anymore. I guess it's down to just checking reviews on some place like Amazon.Terry Gallentine wrote:Any suggestions for the webcam?

Re: WIFI monitoring of RTC 1000
Don't know of an attachment for the RTC1000, of course there are other controllers, but would be expensive. Here's what I did in a similar situation: bought a webcam and set it up so it pointed directly at the display on the controller. Then I could access the cam via the internet and check on the t...

It can be fired without being capped but the top surface will be quite rough.

Paragon A-66B
Normally, when the cone trips the kiln and turns it off, the kiln takes a while to cool from there to below 1100F or so, where it will no longer move. If you open the lid after the cone trips, then you're cooling it faster. Just close the kiln before it gets to 1100 or so. You don't need to do this ...

Re: Paragon A-66B Glass Firing Schedule
Back in the dark ages of fusing (the 1990's) I used a kiln with a kiln sitter. It worked fine for simple coasters or jewelry sized pieces. Basically I would fire and then let the kiln sitter turn off the kiln. After that, I'd just let the kiln cool naturally without opening. The main issue with this...

Re: Denver kiln
Never owned one, but Denver kilns have a reputation for not holding up over the long term. What does this mean? [sorry for my poor English] Does it wear out quickly?? i.e. Does not last long? Or Does this mean that it can't fire high? It means that the metal rusts and the fiber falls apart or droop...
