thank you!

Hello, First of all, let me say you guys are all great! This is my go-to board for reliable, knowledgeable help, so THANKS!!! I am wondering though, and forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this...My beginnings are in stained glass, as I might guess many of yours are too. I still keep a han...

got them!!
hooray!
they are all great. thanks so much!

I am number 40. I am not submitting how-tos because my magnets are all different. but if you have a question, feel free to contact me!

just posting back for future generations of people looking for assistance...I did go with number three. I used a very conservative anneal schedule. going with an anneal schedule for 5/8 inch. (made up from finding the middle of the BE anneal chart for 1/2 and 3/4) The beetles survived and look great...

Hello, Last night I started a full fuse. before I went to bed I saw that it was pretty close to full temp. At some time in the night, the power went out, so the kiln shut off. I can safely assume that this happened in the cool down period, but I have no idea if it was in the AFAP to 960 range or it ...

thanks Jerry
that sounds like a book worth taking a look at!

still no cracks.....

could you go at it with a diamond bit on a Dremel (if you have one). then fill in or full fuse again and it will even out

well, I am happy to report, that there were no issues with my schedule. I actually turned the kiln off last night before I went to bed at the point when it was about 750 and let it come down naturally. The kiln is is the sunroom and when it is done it has 14 very loud beeps in a row which I thought ...

ok. I am going with this
300 1350 10
afap 960 2 hours
50 700 1 hour

and I am only doing the middle iridescent base one. I need to full fuse a body part on the other one first....

yes, the base is already fused. so I will get rid of the 300 hold. looking at my previous schedule, I only held at 1350 for 15 minutes. Good thing I checked! Since I am not doing a bubble squeeze can I just go straight to 1350? Should I hold it at all? stick with the 15 minutes?? I did not have any ...

back to the beetles...if you will humor me for a minute more I made two more (the lfet and middle) the right is the original broken one. beetles for onlin.jpg Using the previous suggestions, I plan to tack fuse the left two with a schedule of: 300 300 10min 300 1350 1 hour AFAP 960 2 hours 50 700 1 ...

I think for doing reticellos they would be the perfect thing

I love my Glasslines! here is my sage advice ;) #1 Don't lose the tip cleaner-outers. you will need them numerous times. if you set the bottle down with a fine tip in it and walk away for 5 minutes, you will need it when you come back. They clog very easy. But as long as you have those little reamer...

why yes it is!
I do stained glass as well, and I have started to fire it onto a piece when doing a larger panel as well. the most permanent way to sign glass!

yes. that is the temp they suggest. Lower temps leave it matte and kinda streaky looking. 1500 is smooth and glossy. I am not sure if the same would be achieved slightly lower...
Joanne

thanks for the help.
I will just keep this one for my own personal collection. But I plan to do two more, so your words of wisdom will help me out with those.
thanks again, I really appreciate the help I get here.
what would we do without the internet?
Joanne

these are the little cracks around the feet

well, I've been fusing along for a while now, no problems, I was just about to say I think I might be getting the hang of this! BUT, alas, little cracks have infiltrated my latest piece IMG_0284.JPG it is about 4" x 8". All BE glass. I first fused the two base layers together. I don't have...

hello, just wanted to report back on the butterfly wings. I flipped them over, so the face side down was a previously painted (with Glassline) and previously full fused (1500) design of a butterfly wing. I then painted the fae up side, applying the white dots as well and fired it to full fuse (again...
