I ran into a problem that I'm assuming is unavoidable, but I thought I would run it by all you smart people... I bought an 8" x 10" sheet of Bullseye 0301 pink opaque about 3 weeks ago. Cut some strips and fired them they came out the exact color I was looking for. This week I bought 4 mor...

Thanks for all the help..I do plan on trying this. It was a given I would have to grind and polish the flat surface.

I'll let you know how I make out..

Hi Geri,

I want to make completely clear transparent cabs. I have someone who wants to put a picture behind them. They are 30mm x 22mm. Any ideas you have I would be grateful to hear. Thanks so much.
Heather

Has anyone ever tried making clear cabochons? Fusing ,Casting, Pressing would all of these be an option? I have someone looking for a handful of them for family picture pendants. I thought I would try to make a few and wondered if anyone else has ever given it a try..(30mm x 22mm) Thanks for any inp...

Sorry to hear about your power problems.. It must not have been my lucky day speaking with Axner. I had a young lady on the phone that new nothing about mold making material for glass and she said they had a book I could buy that would help... I thanked her and thought I would try Rosanna again.. Ho...

Rosanna, I looked on the Axner web-site and they had several different materials for making molds. I called them to get info on which one to buy and they said "they can't give me any information but have a book they will sell me" Can you tell me which material I should buy for glass mold m...

Thank you very much for all you help.....

Thanks Tom, I understand what you are saying. Thank you so much for the help. Do you have suggestions on where I can purchase the mold material?
Heather

What an idiot I am . I realized after I sent the last reply you gave me the mold material to use. How does this material work? Where can I get this?

Thank you

Thanks for the idea. Sorry for the stupidity here but I think you are saying instead of slumping in a slump mold let the glass drape over a hump mold. (Slump ,hump diddley dump)
Or am I way off?

What kind of mold material would you use?

These are fume hoods for an Antique Oiler..

Thanks,

Heather

Morning Tom, So basically you are saying this technique will not work. I was hoping to get a plastic blank and use this for making a mold. Then trying my luck at using an oversize glass to slump into this mold. The piece is not square cornered in shape. It is more like a tent shape on the ends.(if y...

I need to make a slumping mold for a piece of glass 1 1/2 " in depth x 8 " long x 1 3/4 wide. It looks like the top of a butter dish with a flat rim of approx. 1/8" all the way around. I've done some reading on different mold making materials and casting materials. I am now looking fo...

Can someone please tell me the best way to cut narrow strips of glass consistently? 1/8"-1/4" wide in both thin and standard thicknesses of glass.

Thanks

I'll order some up and give it a try..

Thank you all very much.

Heather

Can I get suggestions on which kiln wash is the best to use on slumpning molds? We are family business of Scientific and Industrial Glass Blowers looking to get into some fun stuff as a hobby. We have purchased our first two slumping molds and would love everyones input..Do's and Don'ts,etc... I wil...

Lynn, I just joined this Forum to give you a reply. I'm sure it will come in handy in our business also. What we do very often if we need to put a torch in an oven /kiln is wrap the hoses and the torch, as far as you can go ,with aluminum foil. Works great. Make sure you have worm gear/pipe clamps o...
