Re: New Posts

I have been busy packing plates to take to a "farmers market" on Thursday in a gated community. First time we have been to such an event and did not realize how much work it is to get ready. Boxes and boxes of plates in bubble wrap. Tomorrow I co-host / announce our annual Rubber Ducky Rac...

Re: Which glue is best for glass to glass on sushi plates?

OK. I like using GE Silicone II glue for putting the feet on the plates. So far so good. Still finding the balance between" how much is too much" and "is that enough"!

Broken Plate

300/1430/25
Full/900/60
100/700/5

All Bullseye. Stiff Black base and rim.

I assume it broke on the way up as it is fully fused. Too fast?

Re: fiber blanket under pot melt?

I have only done a few pot melts ... but I put a single clear sheet as a base for each one and they worked out ok.

Re: Got Free Rods and Glass

I have a hot head that is hooked up to a five gallon LP tank and that works fine for me.

Re: Which glue is best for glass to glass on sushi plates?

Can anyone tell me the difference between GE Silicon and GE Silicon 2? Is one as strong as the other? My local store only has the GE Silicon. The pitfalls of living the jungle life.

Which glue is best for glass to glass on sushi plates?

I have made a bunch of sushi plates and now am ready to glue on some glass cabochon feet and was wondering which
