Re: My microwave..
Tony, I just looked to be sure. Our microwave oven has buttons marked, "Popcorn", "Dinner Plate", etc. These are preprogrammed and obviously can't work for every popcorn or dinner plate put in the oven. I doubt that our microwave is any different than all the others on the "...

Lauren, I found that annealing thicker pieces in my quickfire was exceedingly difficult. When I used the quickfire (and I love it) I limited myself to small normal thickness pieces just because there was no way to control the annealing temperature. After several anneal breaks I decided that I should...

Re: fusebox II help
Just wondering how it is that so many are looking at my post but not replying? Does no one out there have any experience with the fusebox II kilns that they can talk about in public???? Given that the board is composed primarily of fusers with a few lampworkers who fuse, it may be that no one has a...

Tony, you made my response to Jim's statement easy. Ditto. My big issue with a pre-programmed kiln is that schedules differ when you change glass types and thicknesses. Slumping through a small hole takes a lot longer than through a big hole, etc etc etc. There is some misleading information if a ki...

Bullseye tries to counteract it by offering high quality classes with honest technical information – not marketing hype. But how does the beginner distinguish the difference? If someone has that answer, I’d love to hear. Lani Lani, good question. One I have been struggling with for a while now. I w...

I have taken classes. First and foremost with Judith and Kevin at Vitrum, with Brock and Avery, with Bob Leatherbarrow, with Roger Thomas. With the exception of my first classes with Judith, in every class I have taken I learned some things that were new to me and did some things that I had already ...

Hi Carla. Welcome. I love your website. You have an interesting problem. As I understand it, you want little domes without any texture on the glass. Am I right? Two things occur to me. What if you slumped into a mold? If you create a mold with some indents in it, and the mold were plaster, and you s...

To avoid seams I build a dam for the border as steve suggests. Then I pile on the black around my piece. Sometimes I use a piece of thin white as a base just to get some opacity behind my elements. if the black is high enough so that I fill the dams I usually don't get distortion of the center eleme...

Leslie, Bullseye recommends a 30 minute anneal soak at 960 and then cooling to 750 at 210 dph. If your glass was BE, then your schedule was fine. You could even cut your anneal soak by 15 minutes. That always works fine for me. If your piece is uneven then you should increase the anneal soak to corr...

while I shouldn't vote, let me just say that my preference is the less expensive hotel. Even though I live in the area, I would probably come stay at the hotel just to be close to everyone (and to avoid a commute to Maryland). The proximity of things isn't as important to me, and in the Beltway area...

Re: Oh, man - what's a ro-tap?
Keith, What's a ro-tap? Something very expensive that I can't live without? I seem to be in the midst of a major equipment hoarding phase. Maybe I was potty trained too early. Maybe one of my ancestors was a rodent. Good idea to put rubber matting in front of the mill, it would really suck to break...
