I ran across a discussion the other day about someone who has been firing with acrylic paints in their kiln for some time and now gets devit on much of their system 96 glass. I am wondering if it is possible to ruin your kiln brick or elements in some way with acrylic paints or something unusual lik...

Taurus has a new saw coming out. I wouldn't buy a Taurus 2.2 until I looked at one of their new saws. I think you can add a heavier blade to the new saw which would be good for thicker fused glass and cabachons. If you want a Taurus 2.2 I think you can find lower prices than $389. I like the Taurus ...

You have all hit on things that tell me where my problems lie. I know I'm under firing and I know that my my wafers are an uneven thickness. I'm also mixing colors that might have different melting temperatures. I will try again this morning and see what happens. I'm glad I asked you all for help! T...

I have a 23" octagon Skutt with elements in the lid as well as the sides. I will try slowing down for the last 100 degrees. Does it sound like I am going hot enough?

After reading through the archives about powder wafers I used a stencil and made a few simple dragonfly shapes. I sifted BE powder over the stencil onto a kiln washed shelf and fired 1285 DPH to 1285 degrees and held for 10 minutes. The result was great. The pieces were delicate and brittle but I wa...
