Excellent post, Marty. The one thing I might add is that I understand a kiln has a temperature limit. The kiln may keep firing, but it shouldn't exceed the temperature limit for its elements. Correct? I woke up at 4am realizing I had left the manual enameling kiln on. In pajamas, I drove to the shop...

The problem with plaster is that it shrinks. Replacing a bent panel lamp piece means only needing that mold for probably 1-2 firings. We don't need a permanent mold, but that's what the refractory is. And, my moist pack is bumpy too. It's just a lot of trouble. A lightweight casting material, good f...

We use a castable refractory. It's normally used for boiler repairs. Mixes up like cement. Drys hard and smooth, requires no kiln was, but weighs a ton. It doesn't shrink, which is most important. I would really love to find another material, however. Something lighter, easier to work with, but does...

Like the other posters, I fuse lots of glasses. 90 COE has only been represented by Bullseye and Wasser, so far. If you want to experiment, great! When I started fusing, there wasn't much info on the subject; so, if it was glass, I fused it. I put several things together that aren't supposed to mesh...

Al, I can't answer your rigidizer question, other than why bother with it. We use bunches of fiber board here, mostly low density; and we don't rigidize. (I believe the duraboard is harder than the LD.) You didn't mention if you were looking for a smooth surface and wanted to rigidize in order to ki...

Jim, why don't you just use colored glass block (which we carry and make the end caps for)? It would probably be just as cost-effective. - Barbara

Re: Spectrum
Barbara, As to the value of your post, I think it's always worth listening to what other people have to say. That was the entire prompt for me to put up the question in the first place. If I pay enough attention, I can learn a great deal from what others on this board have to say, and that includes...

Interesting thread. And I don't intend to flame anyone, Spectrum included. Like Cynthia, I have been caught in the middle of production lines, where the samples boards were spread clear across the country and, ALL OF A SUDDEN, the formula changed and I could no longer produce what I SAID I could. S1...

Charlie's got it right. Just because the item was charged doesn't mean the credit card company won't pay. If you accepted the item back, you've accepted responsibility for the return. Most companies have a Return Authorization Code that must be submitted with the return or it will not be accepted. I...
