Re: mica
Should it be used between two layers of glass? This gives a different look than micas on top. Try both ways on a test piece. As Brock mentioned, a dark background is usually best, but if you apply the mica heavy enough you can get a decent appearance on clear. An airbrush is definitely the best way...

Are you referring to a controller or to something else? If it's a controller, let us know your model of kiln and what the controller looks like and we can probably help. Perhaps you can find your particular controller here: http://www.aaproducts.com/../Controller.html

I would prefire to 1400F and soak for just a few minutes. Leave the kiln open about an inch until the temperature gets above 1000F. It will stink and may smoke a little. You'll know the binder is out if the color turns back to white. 700F is definitely too low, and a couple of hours is too long. I ...

I believe that Ceraboard is a rigid product (right?), and will stand on edge. If so, then you shouldn't need to rig...

If you put a bowl in the kiln and fire to 1300 degrees, the edges will probably get a little shinier. More importantly, the bowl will almost certainly distort and lose its shape. Fire polishing generally takes place at 1300 to 1400 degrees, depending on the type of glass and the kiln. Slumping, wher...

I think the trick is to get Mullite shapes that are either cone shaped or wedge shaped so they fit well and are easy to remove. I would worry about IFB raining crud down. If anybody knows a source for these shapes, please let us know. Pottery supply stores and kiln manufacturers, as well as art sup...
