Re: Q: Annealing around trapped air

The top glass anneals essentially one sided, but the bottom glass cools down one side through the shelf the other side trough the insulating air and top sheet. That is a complicated situation asking for ver...

Re: quick cutting tool from Doug Randall's video

P.s.
I add some CMC into kilnwash, too.
It gives harder surface that I can sand smooth.

Like Bert, I have used CMC. For those who are afraid of chemical terms, I can tell it is the stuff that makes jam to a jelly and not juice. I had a class at Päivi Kekäläinen ( for Englsh speaking friends Paevi Kekaelaeinen). She used starch as a binder in thin pate de verre. CMC is very close to ...

pronounciation
I would appreciate very much, if someon
wants to include a pronounciation column in the dictionary.
Most of my English is from reading and net,
I have not the slightest idea how words are
pronounced.

Removing tin side??
How deep is the tin side.
In my situstion I can buy an UV lamp OR some glass to test.
I do have diamond pads, however.
So my question is:
is it possible/worth of trouble
-to erase both sides of a float so tehre remains no tin side?

Glass museums
Jydy, I understand you fly point to point and you are forced to miss places between. There is however a goodglass museum in Ebeltoft, Denmark. Ask Siw about Oslo, she is Norvegian and lives quite near to Oslo. Frogner park is great, but don't miss Munch museum. As a sculptor, I love his litographs. ...

Priming bisque molds
I make ceramic moulds for my back relief castings. I use to apply the first coat of shelf primer before bisque firing. It seems to last severaql castings @850-880 C. I mentioned this before, and got replies that kiln wash "degrades" in those temperatures. My experience, however, is the opp...

Thanks Peter
I'll keep etching and engraving separately,
but I would appreciate very much if you can contribute
some entries in engraving techniques.

I have not much experience with colors, I prefer clear glass. However, for casting I have mixed frits. Transparent blue powder with <2 mm clear frit. Ratio 50/50 gives apparently uniform color in 8-15 mm thick piece. <2mm color with <2mm clear gives speckled color in less than 1 cm thickness. Opaque...
