Schedule for kiln pressed glass - for Uroboros

Hello everybody, I discovered a nice pack of Uroboros glass in my storage. Some of it is very nice colors.Eventhough its COE is 90 - it is fired on different schedule than BE. Being weak in numbers, I would appreciate it if anybody could refer me to Uroboros firing schedule for SMOOSHED GLASS, or UN...

Re: What can I do to save this piece?

Thanks , Brad



had to look for the meaning of "divots". in order to answer you.
The piece is absolutely flat, so there is no need to flip and fire.

Decided to keep it as is, for the time being.

Anyhow thanks for the lesson

Re: What can I do to save this piece?

Thanks, Brad and Jim please excuse my limited understanding. Should I re-fire the piece thru the whole process of kiln-pressing? If not, if you mean regular firing, what temprature should I reach?? And then what? The back side will be fire polished, while I could sift some powder and fire polish the...

Hi Happy new year everybody. The piece I am showing went into the kiln in 2020, came out this morning - 2021. I am posting the front and the back sides.

Re: Concerning firing enamels

Thanks, Dianne I love the idiom "foolproof" it is applicable for me. I have a whole stock of colorline enamels at home, some of the are old and actually useless. Anyhow I'd like to buy powders - i assume they are safer to keep, in the long run. Thanks for your imput about separating the bl...

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?

Re: Annealing temprature

Thanks Michael and Brad, Brad, I remember I read in one of your wife's books that she anneals at 516, and I asked you about it then. Your answer was similar to the one you wrote here. Only this time it is even more detailed. Usually I anneal at 482, but when firing something thicker, I anneal at 516...
