Joseph - you bad boy!!! Why didn't you post those pictures

Would the aluminum in the deoderant have any strange effects?

What do you mean you "dirtied" it up??

Thanks! (I've just got to get 'out' more often! )

Can someone give me the "hooked on phonics" version of how to say Dichroic??

Thanks Randy - not pushin ya.... really appreciate that you'll send it at all. At your convenience

Many wine magazines have a product that you stick over the top of the wine label and then peel and (theoretically) the label comes off in one piece.
For that fine Opus 1 label - I might try the hair dryer before the water or sticky paper.

HA! I feel so lucky :lol: I'll keep checking it out - maybe Randy will be able to fax me the instructions (I sent an email). I've slumped the pieces (except the very top one - which I can't get a grip on how to deal with). If it's just glued together - it's not incredibly great..... kind of a mother...

Thank you both. Sandi - the type of mold that Sun Sculptures has is a little different (although nice!) This rose is more diminsional - stacking one section on top of the other - after they're slumped Thanks Lynn, I'll check out Optimum - if the same person that gave me the rose has any Optimum Glas...

I was given a ceramic mold made for forming a glass rose. It consists of five pieces (lower round 'petal' 4"X4", three consecutivly smaller units and a top inner 'bud' 1.5" - each one gets deeper) the whole thing stands about 2.5" tall. It didn't come with any instructions and I'...

Thanks so much for all the input. I hadn't thought about Nichrome wire. Do most other metals show oxidation at high temps? I was hoping for a copper 'finish' or shine but will try anything. Is there an easy way to find the melting point of different metals @ varying thicknesses?

If this is the dumbest question possible - please laugh me silly and school me up good
Can you fuse two pieces of compatible glass with a piece of real (not leaf) metal in between?? Like copper? Pewter?

Thanks for your tolerance..... you guys are great!

Would you share the link to his site? I love to take a look at it. Thanks.

Ed Hoy's International sells them - if you're a qualified buyer (wholesale only) - if not, possibly you could call and find out the name of a distributor.

WOW! thanks for the encouraging words and info. The kiln is 17.5" across and 9" deep. I'll have to do some research on the cones and how the kiln sitter works. From what you've said, it's not impossible to use it as is. I checked the Centre DeVerre for a controller and sure enough they mak...

Thanks to everyone. I purchased the kiln ($375) which included the shelves & shelf legs & pyrometer (wall mount). Hope it's a good deal. I did call Skutt and they'd made this model for 20 years and no longer make it. It could be 2 years old or?? It's in pristine condition - nothing cracked, ...

I'm looking for some information on an (?)older (maybe only a couple of years old - not sure) , model K, Octagon 17.5" 240volt, 15 amp kiln (called a SKUTT Fuser). It doesn't have an automatic controller. It's in excellent shape / working order. The top lifts off and doesn't have a hinge or any...

Thank you both - I think I'll opt for using it for restoration work. Appreciate the info - saved me from ruining it.

I have quite a bit of 100 yr old glass (large panes) and I'm not sure of using it in the kiln with other glass. I'm assuming that finding the COE is a difficult thing best left to the experts? - so, would you use it with other glass? Are there additional health concerns -due to the lead content - wh...

Hmmm - little did I know! Thanks - I'll check it out.

Where is a good place to get Kaiser Lee Board??
Thank you.
