Personally i like using stainless steel best. Big surprise there, huh! I can fit so much more in the kiln too. In a class making reverse casting i took my own formers to the class. While everyone else was stuggling with dams and supports etc i just put in the stainless and built the piece in 2 min. ...

You can get quite a few loads done with one application of kiln wash. When it starts chipping off it is time to remove it. I use a hand sander with rough sand paper until it is completely gone. The shelf just gets smoother and smoother. Be sure to wear a mask. It can be a dusty job. When doing somet...

Although I do not know this kiln in particular....it is probably a peep hole so that you can view your work during the firing. Stuff it with fiber blanket or a peep plug that you can get from a pottery supply house.

nice little video about this kiln on tube

Make 5-10 lb boxes, take a couple of pics and say "all boxes different mix" and post on Craigs list and ebay. You will be surprised how many mosaic people are looking for exactly that! Using usps free boxes is the way to go! (unless you ship across country then they are just too high these...

You can also sell it by the pound on ebay to mosaic folk. I had a customer the other day that bought what to me was junk.....added up to almost what the sheet would be. She was so happy with the variety. Win win!

me too....but now I need another......

I like Stoneware clay.....no need for a slab roller......just use a rolling pin, newspaper and some guides along the edge that will determine the thickness. When stamping in texture be careful to avoid undercuts. Dry slowly and throughly.

I understand that spectrum has changed its formula for their clear. Now they have a new "clear ice" that is the price that their clear used to be. It supposedly has a blue tinge when viewed from the side. Their old formula is still available at a cost of an extra $1 per sq ft. I need to ge...

tbach.....have you tried mixing the white powder with your color before stenciling?

Les.....this is it. I love it. I think it is very much like yours but a bit lighter weight. Perfect what what I slice up. I am slices down to 1/4" with a somewhat generic glass blade and they are smooth and clean. Happy glass maker here!!

well said Tom!

Nice article but I personally would not use the schedules they post there.

My new saw, the brutus, has water to both sides of the blade. I think it is a great design. You can always add a second little pump and tube for extra water. If your saw is outside.....i would pull a hose over and position it ( a second set of hands would be good for this test) so that there is a sm...

We use Uroboros rolled clear for 90 fusing...no problems with bullseye shelf paper there!
spectrum clear for 96

I meant Tekta clear glass from Bullseye. We do not use it......but if you do .........
sorry I was typing too fast for my own good!

Great!!! as for the devit it can be caused by quite a few things....kind of glass, how you clean, using shelf paper with teak, holding too long in the 1300 range......

Hey Paul!!!! Nice!!

love love love! congrats!

I have had devit on violet striker.......mild haze. I now spray it with devit spray before firing.

Ha! It was early! But...no problem....i had my first cup of coffee in hand. I am lousy at math and have a scale handy so for me weighing a circle of glass that fits in the ring i am using and then multiplying the weight by 2 for a 1/4". 3 for a 3/8" is a nice easy waY to go. The above info...
