Hi Nanc. Regarding mold holes... I learned something interesting a while back from Bob Leatherbarrow. Mold holes in the center are NOT well placed. Imagine your piece slumping down. The glass doesn't come rolling down the sides and fill the middle last. It plops down in the middle first (covering an...

crystal clear silicone by GE is pretty great. i'm not a fan of E-6000. i have long and unhappy experience with it failing later on down the line. places like walmart and hardware stores have the GE silicone in smaller tubes, or in the type you put into a pressure gun. i've used the GE stuff on proj...

Jon, you should be able to sandblast off whatever is stuck to the bottom of the glass once (and if you get it off the kiln shelf. Unless it breaks, you can use it the way you planned to. If it breaks then you will see th amazing innards of a pot drop. THen you can slice it up and use the slices as c...

Mark, I have found it to be difficult to control the depth of color i get using silver leaf to stain glass. Sometimes it even stains to other colors.
