When a color doesn't strike
Can a color that didn't strike on the 1st time through the kiln (violet striker, #1234, came out a muddy transparent blue depending on the light) go through the kiln again to reach it's intended color or is it now scrap? I didn't hold it for 2 hours at 1225.

tiny points on shelf side of fired glass
I have been firing for years, using thin fire paper on my shelf to fire all my projects on. I just rebuilt the kiln and now am using a fiber board shelf treated with kiln wash to fire directly on. I used the same firing schedule that I normally use. My test load came out with tiny/tiny sharp points ...

glass hanging systems
Does anyone know where to find systems that will hang large fused glass pieces in a window suspended from the ceiling or header of the window?
