Use my glass blade on acrylic? Won't that gum up the blade?

What is UHMW polyethylene? Can it be purchased in a home improvement store?

Thank you all for taking the time to post a reply. As for the table top, acrylic was the word I was looking for. Maybe I will just put an old 7" wood blade on my tile saw and cut through the pre-mounted acrylic top. That would be a slightly thicker blade and also make sure the opening will be p...

I have a Rigid 7 inch wet tile saw with an MK blade. The motor and blade are above the rolling table. I know this brand/size of saw isn't what is preferred by most of you but it has become my best friend over the past several months. #1 - water pump - I don't think my water pump is delivering enough...

Thanks for that. I can make glass but I am not a very good photographer. Always dread taking pics.

I'm not a pro on here and I hardly ever post, but... Another thing to think about is the difference between "raw" bones and "cooked" bones. As an example you can give a dog/cat raw chicken bones because they don't splinter as they are chewed. But, you should never give a dog/cat ...

I worked with an infinite switch during my first year and a half of kiln forming and it taught me a lot. There's something about working "old school" that is a great teacher. How are you reading the kiln's current temp... do you have an analog needle gauge or a digital, numerical read-out?...

Lucie - I've been using Decocolor for years in my stained glass. And I love the fact that it doesn't come off in the grinder or saw. Never tried it on kiln shelves!

seachange - that's another great idea!

Hmmm, I tried my mechanical pencil several times but it burned off of my "silver" kiln shelf. Will try a regular pencil next time. Thanks!

Is there a pen or pencil that will stay on a kiln shelf or ceramic mold and will not disappear after firing? Mostly want this for kiln shelves that I use for firing with silver leaf as well as fill weights for some CDV molds. Isn't there something that potters use?

Thanks in advance,

Thank you all for responding! Now I have to totally rethink this...

Let us know how it goes. And maybe a photo?

I kept wondering why a fiber lid would be better. Now you've answered my question. Does the fiber shed any particles at all? Does the brick shed terribly? I imagine that with all the expansion and contraction of the brick it would shed particles no matter how well you keep the lid clean. But won't t...

Thank you both for posting. I appreciate your opinions and past experiences.

Thank you Mr. Walker. Your opinion means a lot! Viewing window: With my current kilns I do open the door to peek. I thought it would be nice to have a window but not if it's going to become useless. How long do you think it takes before it becomes too cloudy? I usually run my main kiln 5-6 times a w...

I'm in the process of purchasing another kiln. It WAS going to be a 240v but medical bills got in the way... so the Paragon CS-16S is currently my first choice. Question #1 - viewing window or bead door for peaking at slumping projects? I'm currently playing in the flame and I've made a few pretty u...
