What is the point of this post on a 9 yr old thread????????? Hopefully we've moved on as Jackie did!

Why are you using 960F to anneal??? it has been listed at 950F (according to "96" documents for several years)

I wonder where Cynthia would suggest you place a CHAD????

I don't know what type or size of work your planning but a "dry", hand held grinder suggested above would not come close to providing the precise, quality work I can do with my WBS!! Don't cheap out with your tools!...it will show in your end products.

If your studio is a finished room inside your house, then that is not the place for a wet belt sander.....too messy. Depending on your circumstances you could maybe plan on having it in a garage or out building..then you could get the big one which is much more versatile. Just my 2 cents.

I recall Boyd Lundstrums (sp?) second book "Advanced Fusing" recomends holding and or changing rates at 300F for some reason, ..also he talked about letting heating of mold catch up to heating of glass.........I'm removed from my library right now or I would check.

Check out "Glass Art" mag. I think it's the best.

Check the new Bullseye cat. They have some to wear over your regular glasses.

I think you may run into some electrical appliance regulations. Seems to me they have to be rated by CSA or ULC ?

I scrape off old kiln wash with the edge of a scrap of glass. Takes about 2 minutes. Always dry, no water involved.

Lyn...........I don't know where you got the idea Spectrum is stronger on research than Bullseye

The world is full of copycats......Get over it, move on, create something better!

I bought a few sheets of the new Hi fire Spectrum irid last week. I hav'nt used it yet but it looks promising. Price was less than the Uro irid.

I was told by a glass blower (when I experienced the exact same problem you describe) that some glass( especially yellow) can change the coeficienct of expansion at high temperatures. Noting that the temperatures we use on pot melts is higher than we normally fire at, I accepted this theory and gave...

Nice work! Clean design, clever use of this medium. Keep up the Excellent work.

Hi Tyler:.........I'm the one who made those small squares you saw at Kaliedo...I do use 18 to 20 coats but there is no waiting. I spray with airbrush in one hand and hot hair dryer in the other hand. The stuff dries as fast as you spray it on.I use Klr-fire for the spray medium (you can get that at...

Home Depot--standard 4" house painting brush does a great job, fast.

Use Bullseye fusers glue.

It will probably pull apart when fired.

If it were not enough of a challenge keeping my "90" Bullseye, Wasser,and Urob. separate from my "96" Spectrum and Urob. now I see Armstrong has introduced "Float Fire 82" to be compatible with "all" float. I'm always glad to see more choice being offered but ...
