Thanks! Ok, ordered the magnet sheet.

The magnetic backing on my 24 inch diamond disc is coming off. Any advice to re attach? Separately, I got a new disc with no backing at all, just steel. Any way to put a magnetic sheet on that? Did I learn my lesson to read the description more carefully? I'm thinking of attempting contact adhesive ...

I'm enjoying the colors from Wissmach and have started moving away from Oceanside. The color palette and thickness is starting to expand but has a long way to go compared with Bullseye. I have not noticed any compatibility problem between the manufacturers of tested 96 COE. My base glass is Oceansid...

Thanks Brad! The Wayback Machine! Oh heavens! Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman! Thanks for the link, it is genius and so necessary now that we are hurtling into the future. I do have that TSC technical instruction manual, the answer must be in there somewhere. The manual just doesn't tell you how to ...

ok, found the " in a nutshell" copy- Here's the problem- display says OPOF in initial window. what is that? an alternate program? If I go through the PAR buttons, it will allow me to program - but it's not in the right the right order. I tried turning it off and on. still starts on OPOF .

I lost the "in a nutshell " instructions for programming my Denver Glass Machinery Red Lion controller. I know it is old! Now they are out of business and I messed up the program I always used. any body have a copy they can send ?

I had a whole box of 5 104 inch CRL belts, every one of them broke, I order from HIS glassworks now and no trouble.

I have one, it's been good for last 10 years, only thing I replaced was a thermocouple last year. I use it almost every day.

I have a Denver fiber kiln and 3 brick kilns. Firing in the fiber kiln is similar, the lid is fiberboard, the sides are the usual fluffy fiber wool. Call Jen Ken, they will advise you. Sorry you had runaway kiln.

Thanks Kevin! I didn't know about guiding with your finger. Even from this old post. Guess I haven't been studying the Warm Glass board like I used to.

That's the one! OK, I'll try them- The response from Red LIon was really fast, here it is: "The OPEN error can mean a open thermocouple sensor or a hardware failure of the control given it's age. Thermocouples types are based on lead wire color code. TYPE J for example is RED and White leads. T...

I got some on Amazon, even mailed Prime to Hawaii. Automotive shops have sandblasters, too, and will blast a piece for you if you are just getting rid of a scummy back or something coarse like that

I have error message "OPEN" on my 17 year old KL50DD Denver kiln. The manual on the Red Lion controller says it is the probe, which I assume is the thermocouple. Since Denver Machinery is not in business, I wonder how to find out how to get another thermocouple and how to install it. It is...

I never had any luck with a hardened fiber shelf. The first firing was fine, the next one stuck like crazy and tore a pit out of the shelf making it worse than useless because the glass was ruined as well. If you have a fiber shelf, I would always use thin fire. But I agree with Kevin, a regular she...

I tried brushable ZYP boron nitride on fiber molds. It releases one time, firing up to fuse temperature the next time results in the coating sticking to the glass as a hazy film. Zyp has to be removed and replenished with a fresh coat which is pretty impossible on fiber.

Oceanside Glass doesn't appear to be manufacturing any iridized glass. Anyone have insight on that?

I had that happen with a batch of belts also, from CRL. They work for 15 minutes and then let go. They were a few years old when I got around to needing them. It was only one size that broke. I bought new different ones from HIS.

I have taken pieces to be sandblasted to an automotive machine shop. They use big blasters to clean parts and may be happy to sandblast your piece inexpensively. They don't do delicate decals, but an overall blast is not out of the question.

Thanks for posting! That's a lively piece of art.

HI Terry, Do you have a picture of the cement mixer mill? I want to try this, I use a lot of frit about the size of a dime. Where did you get the stainless balls? What size are they?
