I've never cured the kiln wash in a mold since it has air holes.

I was making a platter that because of the design a bubble would form in the center. When using an un-cured kiln wash shelf the bubble was large, when using cured, it was small, more of an indentation.

Uncured kiln wash can give off gases that will cause big bubbles

That is too cute! I like it. Is that wire for the curly hair?

That symbol means "no pagination". It combines all of the pages into one.

I always use kiln wash on my stainless with no problems. Mix it with methyl hydrate instead of water. I looks like a thin coat on the stainless. After you have covered all the surfaces you set the methyl hydrate om fire. *****Make sure all containers of methyl hydrate are closed and put away before...

I see it as an eye and I like the lines. It makes it look "industrial". After reading John's post I can now see the bird and the lines do seem to take away from the bird. BUT...in my mind it's an eye. I like it.

Wow! It's beautiful! I had a corner on one piece that stuck out so I used the grinder to even it up. I didn't want to put it in the kiln again just to round off a 1/2 inch corner. I used a palm sander to round it off starting with 200 grit, then 400 and 600. I then polished it off with serium oxide....

I like that the pull lines are opposite, very cool! Good idea using a BBQ fork. When I get the courage to try combing I'll have to remember that.

Thanks Rocky, Jon and Jim!

Jim- It's 11"x 11" and I used S96.

Boy! I'm not even close lol Now that you mention it, I do see the musical note. I had just bought my dad some golf balls so my excuse for my stupidity is that I had golf on the brain

Very cool! Piano, computers and golf...am I right? I like it!

I spent many summers camping in Cave Creek....when it was FAR away from Phoenix....took forever to get there. It's beautiful country!

Thanks, everyone! With all of the incredible pieces that get posted here, it was quite intimidating posting those pictures! Ann - I know what you mean by all of the new ideas. If I do manage to get all the glass I need for all of the projects swimming in my head, I have no idea where I'll store it a...

Here is a photo of my first commissioned fusing/slumping project. A friend of mine knew that I have been playing around with fusing and slumping and requested this bowl. She decided I needed to get serious :roll: Thanks Tom Suter, for all of your help and for answering all of my questions. I have MA...

I got a very good price on my Taurus II. Had I known the Taurus 3 was coming out, I would have waited. But, I've had my T-II for about 4 months now and I'm very pleased with it. *still wish I had waited, though *

What is the purpose of cutting on a cushion? I've been cutting on my light table which is covered in thick tempered glass or I cut on my MDF table if I'm not using a pattern. What am I missing by not cutting on a cushion???

Confused as always....

I bought this saw for difficult cuts in stained glass: http://www.delphiglass.com/index.cfm?page=itemView&itemsysid=126567&ViewCAT=1686&startRow=1&returnTo=itemList . I have found that it cuts through fused glass very well. It cuts curves very well, also. Straight lines are a bit mor...

If there aren't anymore responses, here is a first draft itinerary I've come up with...of course it will happily be changes if more people are interested: Alecia drives to Austin and picks up Sue. Alecia and Sue meet Deb in San Antonio. You all can tour the New Mexico sites (which I will be sad to m...

Wow! Everything is beautiful!

That sounds like fun! I've live in No. California/Bay Area and have been wanting to take a road trip to Oregon and Washington to tour the glass places. I'm sure I would learn a lot more with a bus full of "glass women" than touring with a woodworking husband

Count me in!
