@ @ Valerie Adams and Vonon: Thank you for your answer ! Yes, in any case I will try to repair this piece...... but I use somewhat help: 1) The first break was repaired the same day: A blank System96 (as the rest of the used glass) (partly.... so not the whole piece !) UV glued on the break. Questio...

@ Stephen Richard: Thank you for your answer. Yes, you are right..... no annealing. But.... I did not fire myself and very surprised that my relative used this programm ! But...... is there anyone please , who can give advise about my question to try to repair this piece ?? Gluing on "Trespa&qu...

Hello ! Thank you all for your answers ! Firing programm below. I did not personally fire, as my kiln is too little. A relative with a bigger kiln did fire (and he did make more glassworks for outside and attached them.....but always in parts... and not so big !) @ Valerie Adams: Yes, a hard lesson ...

Hello ! With the link below you can see this glass (the 4 Seasons) on the wall( Then... okay), the first- and second breaking of the glass. Assuming that the firing was OK, what can be the reason of breaking ? The first break was alreay after half an hour after attach on the wall, the 2nd the next d...

Brad: Yes, using powder is a good idea. I have to make ca. 150 leaves for a tree and I don't like the effect ! Now I have to test what is the best way and also important... the quickest way

Brad, Thank you for the explanation ! I now understand it is the glass (and not the firing). I was thinking about grinding the glass with a 45 degrees angle (as far as possible of course). What do you think about this ? Jan

No solutions till now. I wonder...is it possible it comes from grinding ?? If yes, how can I avoid this ?

Hello,

Make the image in mirror and put the iron oxide side on the glass !!! The result is better as normal !!

Jan de Jong

Thank you Brad. An easier way

For the working link you need name and password . As Snapfish stops next month, I can give you this (and there are only 2 images of this problem, and Snapfish have no address etc of me) Username and password removed, as I could attached the image below. On which site is it possible to share images ?...

If you look at the edges of the glass you will see that one side is darker than the other Sorry Steve, I don't see that differnce !? Here you can see it http://www3.snapfish.nl/snapfishnl/fe/l=nl_NL/p/Organizer/s_c=0/s_mvm=NAP/s_ev20=NL_Google_2007/s_ru=FALSE/s_se=FDR/s_reg=1/s_cmpg=NL_Google_2007#...

oeps .. I mean the Chestnut DARker on the edges

Hello!
I have troubles with this contour fuse: the edges of Dark Green (220-76) becomes lighter green and Chestnut (211-74 gets lighter edges.
I have no idea why ? And... is there something to do, to get it the right colour ?
Thank you for your help, Jan

Hello, a week ago I did slump glass destined for Stained glass(producer unknown - transparant with some orange) with good result. Got courage with this result and I could buy (cheap) 2 plates of Armstrong, with colours I did like. Did fuse the plate with white and blue (2 layers), and for your infor...

Just cut your glass so that it is the same diameter as the mold and can slide down in the inside a little. It would be good to know your firing schedule when answering questions like this. ch Charlie, thank you ! I did place more floatglass and slump and now I can use the mold for making a mold of ...

Bert, Soft edges.. so heatup crack, you think. It is not possible that the amount of glass was too low????? It had no possibilty to flow enough ? Or what will happen then ? Just want to know for projects in the future! Yes, for a better mold I have to use plaster + silica, but this contra-mold was j...

Hi all! Did make a contra-mold from (only) plaster in order to make a mold. And from the made-mold I wish to make a ceramic mold (for more firings) I lay 1 piece of Float on the plaster mold and just open the kiln: The glass has in the middle a crack. (see the image, link below) Due to.................

Hi!

I like your potmelts! Great! Have to try it myself soon.
A question: what is the diameter of these potmelts and the thickness ?
Oh, and the diameter of the flowerpot?

Hello, Please can somebody give me a hint where I can find this: In "Contemporary Warm Glass" somewhere Brad talks about filling a light bulb with glass (I think BE ??). Searching on "Light bulb" gives 336 postings. Please is there someone who can reduce this results, in other wo...
