Tony: Thanks for the site. I took a look at it and it confused me??? Is that Marty's site and do you buy it from him or go to the list of distributors and buy from there??? If he is selling it, why does he say "List of Distributors"??? :?

OK, now I think I have it: I use the razor thingey, then the mister thingey (not the guy watching TV upstairs), then the brush thingey, dry and then into the heater thingey I think I like the shelf thingey in the bucket thingey, scraped down by the razor thingey and then rinsed and dried and then go...

Hey Dee: I think that was worth far more that .02 cents (US). So you put your used kiln shelf in the sink and then just wash it off??? I like that... I have a sink in my studio but have been doing what Brock said (the razor thingey) and have been concerned about scraping and just don't like the way ...

Judy: sorry, forgot to say to you that the mica and glue mixture on the copper sounds really interesting.... I think I will give that a try to see what I get with that (may not get the colours I want, but the affect I bet would be interesting). Thanks

Hey Jackie: What I'm trying to do is not have black but a colour on the copper. I have tried the Paradise paint (yellow) and it turned black. I am wondering if there is another product out there that would maintain it's colour under the cap and after firing????

Hey Judy: Thanks for writing... I don't care about pictures - what I'm curious about is whether you can put colour on the copper, sandwich it with the glass and then get the copper to turn that great red colour with the colour of the drawing (or whatever) staying on the copper and not turning black ...

Hey Jackie: Love the tiles - nice and simple but the affect is great. Have you experimented with painting at all on the copper prior to putting the top layer of glass on??? If so, what did you use and what product? I tried using thomson enamels and the colours just went black on me. Any suggestions?...

Hey Brock: One of the things I have whined about since I started fusing, is that I hate cleaning off the kiln shelves. I'm curious - what is your process for removing the kiln wash and then reapplying. Do you sand it off, scrape it off, wet it before you scrape it, do you apply with a spray, how man...

Hey Cathy:
Checked out your website and I love your signature bowl. I haven't done a lot with irid. In your description you say that the top layer is irid with the (I am assuming) yellow opal on top. Do you have any problems with the 2 fusing together??

This one can't be trained (engineer - I call him Dr. Know It All). Oh well, I guess if he wasn't around, I would be drowning in all kinds of junk (hmmmm...... but would my junk cause me less grief... hmmmmm) Now you got me thinking.

Hey Judy: I just did a firing on the weekend using Spectrum glass with copper I bought from Bullseye and it turned out good. I didn't fire any higher than around 1450 degrees so maybe you are firing too high.
