Dani, Just say no to thew restaurant business. I was in it many years and actually sold mine to become the starving , but happier, artist. There were many times I envied the money the waitstaff went home with. If it is a nice restaurant, great tips and no overhead and you leave the job when you walk...

a late reply, butthis is what I use for easy travel and outdoors. I am just a wee one so weight is important to me!! I use the plastice folding sawhorses and a hollow door(very light) because I cloth the table anyway. Very light and compacts easily. My husband, bless him, built my folding fir displa...

thanks for the tips on shrinkage. I liked tom's idea about having the ends ovrlap for a little movement. Does fiberpaper stick to everyone's pieces, or am I just lucky
Jeri

Thanks all for the advice. Tom , I also like your advise for the stripping, It could be great for my small tabletops with out taking up all the room with damming material.

I have forgotten who supplies 12" s/s rings. I am not getting enough info from archives. OK , I admit, I get frustrated sometimes! I am working approx 1/2" thick for small table tops and don't like how fiberpaper sticks to MY pieces . Do they stick to yours? Is there ever an end to getting...

I thought I would find something easier then the fiberboard to use in my kiln, but how in the world do you sand it smooth without gouging it. it seems with every little swipe (using fine sandpaper) it picks up its own grit and marks it even more :( What am I doing wrong? I am kilnwashing it to fill ...

Well, I feel plucked. And Damn, I just found casting material to make some faces, and heck, with my size , I could fit a me in the kiln. Guess I'll have to grab a leg of venison and chew on that for awhile to toughen up . No sympathy on this site

What are the alternatives if you are:
1) Chicken about lifting the lid of the Jen ken when that hot
2) Chicken because I don't have a fireproof hood
3) Chicken because I would like to keep my hair thank you

Clucking girl Jeri

HI, I have a Jen Ken oval 9 with the peep hole, which I love having. The heat coming from through the peephole includes infrared light and you really should wear infrared blocking glass or goggles to protect your eyes. I know it can sometimes be mesmerizing staring into the kiln, and I liked firepla...

So the ultimate question is. Can it be shelf or not to shelf? It seems that we are using it to fuse on so is there any problem just lining the bottom of the kiln with this stuff.
Marty, weren't you thinking of building a kiln out of the board?

Inquiring jeri wants to know

Please keep us posted on large shelf alternatives. My fiberfrax board is falling apart and I can't really sand it and fill it with kilnwash anymore
Jeri

Not only is the board and those that write in saviors, but it is inspirational as well. I am really grateful Brad

Hi Barbara,
I have some pretty thick board that Marty uses for his lay ups and so have I ( 1 at least!) It is about 3", not that light, but great when you can not spend hours hunched over your kiln, I for onecouldn;t do it either
Jeri

Hi, I had 1 bad experience fusing many layers of scrap on thinfire. It stuck and pulled up some of the board. I went to 1500 and held for 15 to get a complete fuse. I recently builit a 15x15x1/2 strip tabletop on a piece and it fused fine on board but stuck to the fiberpaper. Not sure what i want to...

Bravo, kudos to "THE Answer man'

Brock, i just want you to post again to hit that 1000 mark
All I can say is, I thank something for those folks with money who support the arts. It sure as heck isn't our government, the heathens

Sorry for the double post. I clicked before I was done. Brock, who knows what is happening with the glassworks. I think it was sold and they represent quite a few blowers who work and intern there. Thanks for the suggestion though. I did not feel ready to approach galeries with what were truly small...

I'd like to see pictures! Ready this winter to attempt airbrushing. Do you need Hepa filters and how do you vent. I will be doing it in shop if possible with no airvents, but can work outside if necessary
