I use one of those sponge brushes for painting walls. It works just fine.

I'm not quite sure what your question is. Are you looking for a recommendation for a credit card provider?

Many credit cards offer mileage or cash back programs these days. Perhaps a Google search will result in some companies you might want to do business with.

Good luck -

I tried this a few years ago in my kiln, having gotten some advice from Graham about it. The top shelf was "done" and the bottom shelf wasn't. In addition, stuff dropped off the top shelf onto the glass on the bottom shelf, leaving me with a mess. I tried it about 3 times and never had goo...

I am firing Spectrum together to fuse completely - two pieces, bringing the temp to 1415 degrees. I have several small pieces in the kiln on a newly kiln washed surface, sprayed several layers & dry. Almost all the pieces have kiln wash stuck to them, except two which are larger than the others...

I've been playing with the Satellite/Unique lead free enamels the last couple of days, trying to get the hang of it, and am having some problems. I'm not sure if it's the way I'm applying the enamels or if its the enamels themselves. Here's the problems I've been having. In the instructions, it says...

Many patinas contain acids. Acid will "etch" fused glass, especially if you've used SuperSpray on it.

Nothing I know of will fix this except refiring the glass.

Sorry for the bad news.

Apparently you do...LOL. Here's the link to the board. It's working but there's nothing on it as I type this.

I just checked out the Aftosa site. They no longer sell the tables that I bought from them. However, here are links to 2 different table styles that they do sell on their site.

I got several wrought iron tables from Aftosa some years ago. I believe they still carry them.

Here's a link to a discussion where drop outs are discussed.

There's an explanation of what's happened to that board on the PACA board. Here's a link to the PACA board.

Someone who frequents that board called them and asked what's going on. I believe it was LuAnne Udell.

Geri

LOL. Just when I thought I'd heard everything...here's a new one.

Now I'll be wondering all day about the significance of the women putting glass feathers in their hair when they sing at church on Thanksgiving.

I guess it's destined to be one of life's great unsolved mysteries.

Geri, I doubt that the glass will slump or fuse if I don´t peek :D Here in Brazil we use to say that what what fattens the horse are the owners eyes :lol: Thanks again Luiza LOL. Here in the US we have a saying, "A watched pot never boils". Maybe its correlary for glass artists is "...

Satellite/Unique makes lead free paints for fusing. I don't know how safe they are for use with kids, but you might want to check into them.

Luiza - I wore contact lenses when i was in my early 30's, before I started doing glass work. Even though I had the soft, extended wear lenses and worked in an office environment, after a couple of years I had problems with eye irritation. Finally, I stopped wearing contact lenses and started wearin...

Thanks for the info, guys!

I looked through the archives and the old archives for an answer to this question and didn't find one. Did anyone ever gget a definitive answer as to whether micas are food safe or not? I'm playing with PearlEx micas and want to know if they're food safe, so I can label them properly. Thanks - Geri

I'm surprised more people haven't responded to this. What I've been hearing from many artists on the circuit is that sales are down this year. People who buy are mostly buying inexpensive items. My jewelry sales have also been strong this year. Even when economic times are tough, people still want s...

I'm so glad to hear this worked out for you, Nita!
