Don't disable the sitter, just add a controller. You can use the sitter as a fail-safe to cut the kiln off if the controller malfunctions and the temperature gets too high -- just put a cone in it that's higher than you'd normally fire the kiln. Then get a standalone controller that the kiln can plu...

How long should I hold it at the peak temperature before it turns white and burns out? Hold it until it burns out. You'll see it turn white again. That could be a few minutes, or it could have happened already. How long depends on the particular brand and board. And make sure you vent the kiln when...

Re: labels on bottles
Well, it's not magic, but try heating the labels with a hairdryer. Most of the glues are sensitive to heat and will come loose.charlie wrote:i was hoping for a magic incantation besides elbow grease.

Re: Labels on Bottles
I see where people have labels on the bottles they slump. Can someone please tell me how this is accomplished? One person mentioned decals? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Suzette The labels are applied after the bottle has been slumped. They're sometimes soaked off before slum...

Re: skamol
It works fine. So does fiberboard, Ceramaguard, mullilte, or lots of other products.SteveZorn wrote:Hi
Has anyone used Skamol as a dam for kiln casting? Whad'ja' think?
And where do you buy it?
Bullseye sells Skamol. I'll also be selling it in about a month.

The answer is to find another bank. Each bank has a different policy, and sometimes it varies even by locality. When I set up my merchant account, I was told by two banks (big name banks: Wachovia and Bank of America) that it would cost me extra (either in a deposit or in higher fees) to have an acc...

The binder appears to be a bit heavier in 110-J than in regular fiber paper. This is probably because the 110 is denser (that's probably one reason it lasts longer). I have to prefire 110 to around 1400F to make certain it all burns out. I tend to prefire any paper (other than thinfire or thin strip...

If the element's gone bad (and that sounds like what it is), you can get a replacement element and install it yourself. It's not that difficult, you just need to take it slow. Most kiln manufacturers will help you with the procedure, and most have the replacement element available for sale also. Jus...

Both are products you spread on the glass for a while, then clean off.

Around cone 017, sometimes 016.
You may have to experiment a bit, but that's usually in the right area.
