I love making pot melts, but every once and a while one would break on me or I would get some crazing in the surface. If I tried to re-fuse it , it would usually crack in half before I got to 500°. I used to fire in an old ceramic kiln with a manual controller. (A knob that went from 1 thru 10) I ...

Aloha All, Just fired up Black Bertha for the second time. First fire was 75 dph to 1500 to steam out the mizu table. 42 hour up and down. Second fire was to 1375 to fuse to stick some glass. Problem: Third ramp was 960 to 75 in 4 hours. Actual time to 75 was 27 hours. Not much good for daily produ...

Paul Yes, Artista is hard; lower temps, whilst full fusing, leave the surface of the individual pieces raised; even at 830C they look like shiny wine gums - almost good enough to eat - or is that too good to eat? I tried some more test pieces using two colours of BE irridescent, both irridescent si...

This is the first time I have tried to polish with cerium oxide. My kiln wash left some ugly spots when slumping and so I did not want to re-fire to polish. I thought I would try by hand. I am using a dremel with a felt pad. I let it "charge" overnight. Then I used a fairly wet paste of t...

I have two fused test pieces. The first is a combination of BE 1120 (yellow transparent) and BE 1401 (crystal clear). The second is a combination BE 1114 (BE royal blue transparent) and BE 1401 (crystal clear). In both pieces the clear acts to "thin out" the color density. When I hold the...

Anyone know the CoE of the Artista glass described here? http://www.schott.com/uk/english/products/architectural/artista.html Is any of the Artista range compatible with BE CoE 90? TIA I got this a year or so ago Artista coe 94 Are they now saying this is changed I could not find any coe stuff on t...

Thanks folks. The reason I'm considering Artista is to use it as a lid to cover BE elements. I'm looking at using 6mm clear Artista, because of price & availability. Plus it's an excuse to take a trip to Deutschland and check if the beer quality is as good as it was 10 years ago and the missus ...

glass devits. it's not the atmosphere (which gets replaced every time you open the lid) or anything to do with the kiln. use an anti-devit spray and it should go away. search the archives for any number of solutions that can be used. In adittion I vent the kiln till about 700 C This gets rid of any...

Does anyone have/use/own an 8" disc mini-grinder (or any other for that matter) from His glass works? Are you satisfied with its performance and the customer service there? I'm looking to upgrade from my Inland disc unit (only 5", too small to do bracelet bars without falling off the edge...

Add this to the Nigerian dictator's wife's appeal for help. I got a letter from a Kristi Radford of Cleveland MS who asks for a "donation of any sort for my silent auction" and goes on to mention (with tortured syntax and spelling mistakes) a "trust fund" she'd like to set up fo...

Please bare with me, everyone had to start somewhere and I'm just starting. 1) My wife slumped a piece last night and the gloss is looking dull and has a rough feeling. Is this what you consider devertification? 2) If so, I have read that you can use the Borax mixture to prevent this. When do you s...

I was wondering what temperature you guys take the kiln to in order to properly firepolish a piece. I make mostly fused glass cabs for use in my wire wrapped jewelry. Will firepolishing restore a piece that has cracked, and needs to be re-fired? If not, then at what temp should I try and "heal...

I have worn the fingers out of my Zetex gloves through the outer weave but not all the way through the lining. Is there anything I can wrap the fingers with to get a bit more use out of them? Fireproof tape or something race car drivers or stunt men use? Thank you Hari Georgeson for the title of th...

You can heat it gently with a heat gun or blow dryer and it will give way at about 250-300 degrees or you can soak it in acetone.

Tony

Or put in kiln

But the idea is 2 distroy the bond not set it on fire
