I'm not happy with the conclusions. I use shelf paper a lot and trace with black paint. I do get fogging in certain situations: on float tin side when it is fired above 1300F, and when I'm using copper stain. I want to see what happens if you go to Ms. Rent-a-Kiln's place, distract her or lock her i...

Good question. I really haven't systematically determined the strength of saturation difference between the stains that I have. Ken Leap's book has photographs that attempt to do so. But my impression is that on a given piece of glass, if you put a lot of Reusche on it, and a little Oster stain on i...

Oster stains are stronger than Reusche and Debitus stains. You can use less. But ultimately, I don't know if they can achieve a deeper saturation than other stains. The most saturate Reusche #3 yellow on a given piece of glass is as saturated as the strongest Oster. Painters who are more experienced...

Thank you for the info, Brad. I'll try cutting some hard ceramic and see what happens to the blade. Last time I changed kiln elements, I sliced a little bit of a ceramic insulator off with the blade. That stuff is hard. I suspect, now that I remember it, that it may have effectively dressed the blad...

I have a low end tile saw. 7" blade with 5/8" arbor. I want to plough-through dalle de verre and glass castings. I don't care about a little chipping and I don't require a thin kerf. I have been using $34 Home Depot-quality blades and now need a new blade, because the current blade is dull...

You can add a programmable controller to each of the kilns safely.

not the red flower lol

China/Porcelain overglaze colors i.e. 'china paint' might be a good thing to try. They've figured out the oxide combinations already and sell it to you in a low(er) temperature glassforming powder. And they have reds that are stable and not always full of cadmium. If lasers can sinter china paint an...

It's here Jen. https://warmglass.com/smooshed-pdf/

Your plan sounds fine. Best Black side down on kilnwash. Silver stain side up. Fire to low end of silver stain maturation

I have no suggestions. But welcome back!

I use a glycol-based water-soluble medium (Reusche D1368). I've been using Ulano Orange emulsion. If I'm printing enamels I may coat both sides of the screen, to get a little more thickness and deposit a little thicker coat of enamel, but for line work I just coat the bottom side of the screen. I've...

Your query was for 1/4 x 24 x24 annealed float glass. But all the discussion is about making tempered or safety glass. So I'm probably out of synch as usual, but anyway, almost any commercial window glass shop has sheets of 1/4" float that they'll cut into manageable pieces. 3/8" is strong...

I'm suspicious that you might not be happy with Thompson Enamels. For example, the 'Victoria Red'. When I looked at their bewilderingly organized website just now it looks like that color is intended for use on copper. Do you see a version for glass somewhere? I haven't used Thompson Enamels for man...

It's for sale here on Warmglass.com. Still don't know what it is. I know it's not for Bingo. Down at the bottom of the enamels page.

The compressor got disassembled and moved in my small pickup truck. It is now up and running. Lifting the pump back atop the tank for reinstallation was the most challenging part. It's heavy. I'm weak. With a neighbor's help it got hoisted.

Both are hard enough to manage/control and both have different issues with temperature and annealing considerations. I think the idea is ill-conceived. Therefore I think you should damned well try it and see what happens. You might come up with a texture that's totally cool. You can give it a french...

Drain the oil and take it apart. Here's a good link. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/moving-an-air-compressor.28198/ That's what I wanted to hear. It may still be a bad idea, but it was a bad idea endorsed by multiple posts on an internet bulletin board. I will claim innocence. Thank you.
