Hi, I have removed a lot of labels lately and hope this will help-if it is a European wine-fill a tall container with very hot water ,then fill the bottle with hot water, and lower the bottle into the container and soak a few minutes, should slide right off, pat dry the label with a towel, flatten a...

Lyn, your pendants are lovely, I love the trees, how do you get the picture in there? I am a newbie. Are you etching them in there? with stamps, or drawing? I have never seen anything like them. beautiful-Gayle

We slump wine bottles all the time in a ceramic kiln-cone 016 and yes there is a conversion chart for cones to temperatures. I typed in cone/temperature conversion chart on a search engine and got one. Can't remember the site,but not hard to find-good luck Gayle

Hi, I am new,learning and experimenting. Using float, mica's and copper. I notice that when I put a clear cap on float, and full fuse to 1465 and hold 10 mins. the edges of glass are not fused together. You can still see two distinct edges and feel them as separate. Do I need a higher temp. with flo...

Just did my first simple frit piece-looked in the archives and used some hairspray, now question, do I tack it first or put a clear cap on it and full fuse-I could not find an answer in the archives. thanks Gayle

Thank you Jeremy, now what do you mean by double rolled glass? also how big are your cabs. Is there like a standard size? I can't believe they are your first-my first are kind of sorry looking . I tried to set the holes with some fiber blanket rolled up-and it looks awful and is rough around the hol...

Jeremy, your cabs are beautiful, I have been trying to make some, they don't look like yours. I am a newbie. Some advice .please. how many layers, what size? How Much dichro, do you use really small pieces of it ? I can't even find a really good book about it and how do you put your holes in ? Hope ...

I think,too it must be some kind of kiln dust or dirt-think I may vacuum the kiln! thanks

Fused my first jewelry pieces and got some kind of white marks on the black pendant with dichro-used BE clear as a top piece and got these white specks-not bubbles. What happened> the other pieces had the clear under the black and they were fine. Did I fuse too slowly. I have a new kiln, a Skutt Hot...

Hi everyone, I am trying to fuse a round piece with several scraps, after it is fused, I want to slump it in a round mold. Question, do I overlap all the scrap pieces, or fit as close as I can, do I cover with a clear piece of glass? Can I fill the cracks in with frit? I should mention that it has a...

how are declas used? do you put them on and then fire? I saw some that were really neat looking-kind of metallic, like dichroic, thanks Gayle

Thanks Charlie, I'll go start now! where are you in az.? My son lives Scottsdale. Gayle

Am getting ready to fire some jewelry pieces and the kiln wash is not dry in the bottom of the kiln-it is fairly new and shop owner told me to coat bottom with wash-now I can't get it dry. tried running it up to 100-it srill is damp-I plan to put pieces on shelf, it is dry-dare I put the stuff in an...

I am a beginner,also. Live in a very small area and would love more schooling. Any one on this board know of some classes in fusing here in Virginia? would be willing to drive a few hours for a weekend session-I have been "playing with my new kiln, and reading eveything I can get my hands on, b...

Judy, I like your copper experiments-have jusy ordered my kiln and am waiting the arrival-I am a newbie. So, please tell me, what is Pearl Ex? thanks bkrgrl@aol.com

Thank you Andy and Ron, I will do as you suggest, about the book and the instructor! I'll be back-bkrgrl

I am just starting out and have two questions for now. first, what are enamels(thompsons) are they like frit? do you fire them? second-I just took a very basic intro course. My first and only piece is a 10 square plate. Black ribbed spectrum with scraps of pink, white and dichroic. great colors. and...
