im using the BE KILN WASH, and im happy with it for the most part, but im getting inconsistant results, sometimes the glass comes out very smooth, making the back of the glass clear and perfect, and other times i get this little haze that appears,,,,,,,,,,,i need this clear and perfect back of the g...

thanks charlie, excellent explanation on this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,now, does a solution that is more concentrated make a difference from a solution that is less concentrated,,,,,i know there has been a million posts on this, but has anyone come up with a mixture that is the VERY BEST EVER,,,,thanks so much,...

i hate E-6000,,,,,,,,,,,,it didnt work for me, at staying glued to the glass, and if you do large volume work, the stuff really sticks when it is set up, my dealer wouldnt even carry my things because it stinks, the stuff i use is THE WELDER, you get it at WALMART. its a e-6000 type material and whe...

once the borax is mixed and sits around for awhile does all the borax settle to the bottom of the jar, or is there still enough borax in the water to have a positive effect on the glass,
thanks

the stuff i use is THE WELDER,,,you can get it at walmart, it works great for me,,,, i tried e6000, which was a disaster,,,THE WELDER,,,,make sure you are in a well ventilated room,,,, rodney

im wondering about the borax, for devit,
when applying it,
does more mean better or is light coating enough
thanks

with the RIGIDIZER that i use,,,if you put your hand in it, IT REALLY BURNS, this would be bad for bunch of kids,,or the first one anyway,,,,is there a rigidezer out there that doesnt burn, and is there a place where i can buy JUST THE FLUFFY FIBER MATERIAL, WITHOUT THE BINDER, thanks rodney

you will see where he says he anneals these pieces from 1 to 2 1/2 weeks, is this for real? what do you folks think, what would be a good and proper annealing schedule for things like this

thanks
rodney

ive never tried this on glass, but for lots of other purposes, the STABILLO (sp) that you get at the art store is good,,,it comes off with a wet cloth when you are finished with the application, id give that a try

KITTY WRITES,,,,Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2003 8:41 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i meant to say i would try it on large work. i dont use BE on jewelry. i dont like the feel of the pieces fired on it. i like 50/50 kaolin & alumina hyd...

since this is float glass,,,,what are they using to get the colors, thanks,rodney

excellent idea,,,,,,,when you fire it,,,does the wax paper shrink up, making the pieces fuse together if they are too close,,,,,what does the back of the glass look like,,is it totally smooth,,,,is the a replacement for thin fire,,,thanks again,,rodney

i read here where the *oldtimers* would put kerosene on the glass, after it was scored, and then light it on fire, to burn it off, and that the glass would break,,,,so my question is this, if i take a piece and score a grid pattern and do the kerosene thing, will it break into a bunch of little sqar...

Hi Charlie,
sorry my floppy English.
I was not going to fasten with screws but with
nuts and bolts. Not tightening too much, and premade holes big enough to allow thermal expansion.

what about wire, instead of the nuts and bolts

when casting a vase, what is the material used for the interior of the vase mold,,,,,wouldnt a plaster/silica material be so strong as to make the glass break when the glass contracts around it after the annealing stage,,,also, how is the best way to get rid of this mold material, so the glass wont ...

I've always taken it up to 1400 or higher, and I fire multiple times without problems. I don't know how glossy it will be at 1350, but you won't ruin the PP. It's so full of flux that it fires up nicely in my experience over and over again. CAN YOU TAKE THE TEMP to over 1500 without burning the PP ...

can this also be used as a resist for acid etching,,,,can you tell me the name of the material that was used, is it a particular material, other than the regular sign stuff,,thanks,rodney
