"It would be frustrating to have to reinvent every firing schedule for the Skutt. " Hi Steve, I have 3 Jen Kens: 18" x 18"d, 24" x 11"d, 41" x 13"d ... and each one fires differently & each has its own firing schedule book. My experience with these 3 is th...

Kitty,

It's gorgeous! Love the colors.

Great design! Great exposure!

OK guys... I used a different shelf... I cleaned it well... used thin fire... slowed down the ramp up from 600/hr to 300/hr and added a stage 300-1000-01 2000-1465-15 9999-1000-5 600-955-10 400-800-01 I still got a tennis ball size bubble! I would welcome additional suggestions :? Ross, Did you rea...

Does anyone know where I can buy the lighting/wall fixtures for Bullseye mold # 8725? Bullseve sells it for $99 but I think that's a bit steep. Check out the archives - a lot of discussion. One thread is this one: http://www.warmglass.com/cgi-bin/wgarchive3.pl?read=68967 Isn't this board great?! Jo

Okay, this is a HUGE bid for sympathy. ... I was so dejected last night I couldn't do any more work for fear I would screw up another piece. And then I wanted to get online to chat with you all and my internet server was down. Maybe I will have to start sacrificing to the kiln gods.... I am afraid ...

Does anyone know this company? Their address is Weston FL and it sounds like they are a middleman between you and the catalog clients - matching the products to the right catalog. I'm curious what the "right" catalog would be for glass.

Thx, Jo

Cant tell when the rince cycle starts But I do have rince aid in which is similar stuff set on maximum + a liquid detergent stuff I've only tried this a couple times and not liked the results; I'm uneasy about the "coating" after the dishwasher cycles. When I run my "other" oven...

I have about 150 pair of earrings to glue the backs to. I am using E6000 adhesive. I squeeze out a small blob onto a piece of scrap glass, then I use a tooth pick to apply a small dab of glue to the earring back, then quickly attach my glass piece. After about 5 pieces, the glue starts to get rubbe...

I found that my piece of glass, like the plastic bowl, was MADE IN THE USA! I laughed till I cried.

Sounds like a great signature to me!

What is the Jen-Ken window like? Is it just a bigger peephole with a plug that you remove to look through? or is it like an actual window made of something clear that doesn't melt? It's a clear window approx 2" diam. and a big help! Good luck choosing - lots of good points about both brands. J...

Fusing on the coast of Maine,

Welcome!

Jo - fusing in the western foothills

Lani referred to making test tiles and others in this thread have referred to the set at Vitrum, mine and Roger Thomas'. I started my collection of tiles after taking a workshop at Bullseye last summer. Many of them are direct copies (dare I say rip-offs) of ones that are part of the Bullseye colle...

Okay, it sounds like a great tip, I gotta re-do shelves, I'm going to try it and then fire a load! I don't have any really large pieces so will see with the bubbles. It's worked for me without bubbles. In a rush, needed a newly done shelf; I use the hair dryer on stainless molds all the time - so I...

Hi Kitty, I don't really know much about iridized glass other than that I have seen mottled or patchy coatings on glasses that were not made for fusing. I may be totalled incorrecty on the health hazard issue, and would really welcome comments from anybody that has real knowledge about irid coating...

I have a piece of fiber board that has been cut to use as a shelf in my kiln. I haven't used it yet or used the rigidizer on it. Do I need to fire it before rigidizer or just spray away and go? What temp do i need to go to and for how long? I've finally gotten an electrician to wire up my new kiln ...

?ve been wondering when someone was going to notice this. Many users don’t realize that most System 96 glass is 15-20% thinner than BE. So what? In your case you had to use more glass to avoid needle-pointing. I wonder if anyone has noticed anything else that relates to this? Trying not to slam t...

THanks!

Brad's book advertised here (he's the host of this site) is a great start. And, like Phil said - the archives are a wealth of info.

Have fun!
