I have the bee 4" x 106", I paid exactly ZERO $$$$ for it. As a testament to how good these things are, the one I got spent 3 years unused outside of a glass aquarium shop in temperatures ranging from -30 c to +30. When the aquarium company moved out they left it behind. It was literally f...

how big? How thick? full fused or tack fused?

No easy answer to that question.

Good Luck

Yes I find devit DOES depend on the thickness. The glass wants to be 6mm thick, so 3mm will contract as it tries to become 6mm, is this why 3mm glass devits? I have no idea, it could be volume of glass vs. surface area. If you take 1 sqft of glass at both 3mm and 6mm you have twice the amount of gla...

in my experience 3mm float by it's self is a nightmare for devit. I don't fire anything less than 6mm and 90% is 10mm +

Since Dale Chihuly does this, then NO it's not a bad question. It's called Polyvitro, Dale coined the term (I believe) http://www.chihuly.com/pandanus-lake-blue-polyvitro-crystals-2005_detail.aspx http://www.chihuly.com/silvered-plum-and-cobalt-polyvitro-float_detail.aspx http://www.glassfacts.info/...

I really doubt you'd mistake a real electrical shock to the head with static. I would bet it was static and it just felt worse because it was to a sensitive part of the body. (trust me I got a static shock the other day from my sandblaster to the rather sensitive area) An electrical shock to the hea...

I use a fair amount of low iron float glass from various sources, I haven't noticed that much of a difference between brands in regards to how it behaves. A few degrees tweak up or down but nothing drastic. Now the appearance is another story, I have used low iron that is virtually colourless (starp...

Chemistry of glass was wrong.

I like the line about the cracks caused from vibrations in the building. I think it's a bit more of a problem than vibrations causing the cracks.

I'd like to see the MSDS of the air we breathe everyday, especially driving down the highway following an 18 wheeler belching diesel fumes. I was talking the other day with someone regarding studio safety and they were all worked up about my tilesaw and the glass dust. At which time they figured it ...

I can't possibly imagine giving a GALLERY exclusivity should extend to ANYTHING other than what you can show in other galleries, Not what you can offer through other venues. Why would you agree that basically anything you would do has to go through them. You are then completely at their mercy, they ...

I buy the 5302 by the case of 3000. If those are what you are looking for send a pm and I'll send you a sheet or two.

If you are looking for the actual 3M bumpons I get those from Uline.com They are more expensive than many of the knockoff bumpons, I've found some of the cheaper ones to be, just that CHEAP. In that they turn yellow and the adhesive fails.

unless you are looking for long periods of time (over 1 min) it's not necessary to wear glasses. As for seeing what's happening "better" shine a bright flash light onto the glass. Makes it many times better to see what is actually happening in the kiln. It removes the glow and appears to a...

I know Portland is like art glass Mecca, but I have never seen nor heard of ANY float thicker than 1" unless it's been through the kiln. I've spend many hours working and picking up glass at one of the largest decorative glass companies in North America and have never heard of such a thing. I'd...

30mm float.... really??

The thickest I can get is 19mm, on occassion I've seen 24mm. but 30 ?? That would be nice to use for some jobs.

as was pointed out to me that dryers do have a thermostat in them and don't run 100%, They do however just keep blowing that hot air outside, while your kiln keeps all that energy inside.

As to your power bill, it costs less to operate than your clothes dryer. Your clothes dryer has the elements on 100% of the time for an hour. Your kiln has the elements on for 5-10% of the time for 6-8 hours. I just moved my studio out of my house, we ran three kilns all day every day for a month (o...

Hello Andrea,

I've bought a few small black light uv bulbs from walmart. Any "black light" will work, it's a good time of year to look as people use them for Halloween decorating. They make many things glow in the dark, (not just urine)
