Marie, I usually burn out the binder before I use my paper. I do this because the smoke from the binder leaves a scum on the glass especially opaques. It doesnt seem to matter whether I vent the kiln during the firing or not, the scum seems to remain. The only way to get rid of the scum is to sand b...

Elle, I teach privatley at home. I have an hourly rate (for my time). They supply their own glass , tools and pay for firings, usually $10 per fire. I do not rent out time though. I have found that if you rent time it ends up closing you out. I also have a waiver for them to sign to release me from ...

Diane,
I just did a finlandia bottle last night.
I usually drop to 970 and hold for 40
then cool to 875 hold 40, then 775 for 40 and off.
This is probably not all needed but it doesn't give me any problems.

Give it a try


Michael
Happy slumping

Lani, I have noticed another problem in this topic area. Bullseye Double rolled clear will usually pull needles betwween 1450 and 1500 if it is fired on fiberpaper (not usually a problem on ceramic washed shelves). I have only had this problem when using clear as a base and capping with another colo...

Randy,
Have you ever tried fiberpaper?
I was wondering if the glass will spread as evenly on the paper

Hi Findley Oh
Hilliard Oh here

I would slip a piece of thick fiber paper in between the top and bottom of the lid so I could open it after it cools.
Sorry about your troubles
and Good Luck :cry:
