I have no idea of its availability in the sizes you require but you might be better off using sheet borosilicate or quartz glass and a torch to bend it.
You'd have less issue with distortions due to temperature changes in the finished piece

Throwing a combustible in a powder format into a hot anything!!!!!!???????
or is someone not familiar the dangers?????

Raise your prices to that which you cannot afford. If you can afford your own work it is too low priced.

about the thermal masses involved...... If you'd read and understood Stone, it is all about the thermal masses and heat flow that determines optimal firing schedules. You have to read Stone and think about what you are doing in order to determine what is right in your kiln. EVERYTHING in his book i...

Yes, Tony, I have read Stone cover to cover 3 times and gained greater understanding of the nature of glass each time. If you haven't done so, you do not understand as much as you could do about glass. The schedules themselves are about 10% of the book's value, imho. It is the notes that go with the...

Buy Graham Stone's Kiln Companion book. Read it 3 or more times :o cover to cover. :shock: Then you'll understand just how wrong your schedules were and you can devise ones that will work in your kiln. Somebody's schedules offered here are not the answer to gaining an understanding of what needs to ...

I guess Laurie that you haven't fired enough clear glass so as to experience the marking potential of suckers. You've been lucky in other words. The marks are 'invisible' until the glass is fired and pretty much cannot be removed once on the glass. At least I've never figured out a surefire removal ...

Suction cups can be great but........ it is possible to leave suction cup ring marks on the glass that show up on the finished piece.

Ansell make some with kevlar and different cut resistance levels. Contact a safety supply company in your area. Then visit and try them on. I like fully rubberized vitriflex 66-661. There's a model there with the same number but isn't fully rubberized. I don't think that model would allow me to cut ...

Don't pay anything for it. Inevitably it will be deeply scratched. Once bought 2 tons of glass shelving for $100 and that was NEW and unscratched.

Better to rent a machine than buy one right now. Technology is changing quickly. Current Elavon machines in Canada take chip and pin cards. Don't go buying a cc machine without that technology because the system will soon be changing to it. I've never asked if Elavon has rfid capable machines but th...

Prefire.
I would not use regular shelves for staining.
Use metal trays filled with whiting that can be dumped out after each firing of stain face down on the whiting.

From the RTC manual; Cannot program kiln while running If the user tries to program a kiln while it is already firing, KISS will display this message instead of the programming screen. The user should go to the status screen and stop the current firing before trying to program the kiln. I can change...

Just go to Digitry. They work. May be expensive but so is wasted glass.

Can't you just pick up the glass and then move your arm and achieve the royal type wave you want?

Good point Rosanna I don't tie rope directly to the lid of the kilns either. One has to assume some intelligence in someone capable of installing and using a kiln safely. That was one of the unexplained installation issues with most lid lifting systems nobody previously mentioned. Another one beside...
