sorry to bring this up again. thanks so so much to everyone who gave me great advice the first time. i've got all my materials assembled and i just want to see if i've got the gist of what to do before i go and waste too much materials. i'm using the CDF/QT film Ron suggested. this will be done unde...

i'm messed up with meshes...? i ordered a 230 mesh screen and i was going to order some thompson enamels and their standard size is 80 mesh. do these have any correlation? do i need a finer enamel mesh with that screen? what is a girl to do?
thanks.

cool. thanks sooooo much.

oh yes, i see the mud now. i ordered the paradise paint already mixed with the pine oil, so the media is already mixed in. but i should of ordered it dry, you say and just mixed with a water based one? such as what, can you give me a name or two?

thanks for the info Ron. i don't have a clue what you mean by 'water based media' ??

I'm wondering a few things. how long do screens last generally before the emulsion wears off? if using paradise paints how do people clean them? and is using an airbrush really really better than a squeegee or just kinda? thanks for any help in advance! and all the help i've gleaned in the past than...

thanks lissa, that's great! except its not for me. i've got shaky hands and can't do that kind of precise stuff. thanks anyways.

lissa... do you think even a low tech person, such as myself could learn to make their own. do yours have as much detail as effetre's? can you explain in 4 sentences or less how to or would it take a book. you must compose a design somehow with stringers and then heat up with a torch and stretch to ...

and shoes!

i use it so i can work with millefiori. its not that great to work with. often the sheet glass is so wonky you can barely cut a straight edge. and each colour is a different thickness. those italians don't believe in uniformity at all. they do it how they want, when they want and how they want.

hiya... i work with effetre/moretti glass sheets and certains colours, not all, have like a film layer? on one side. when that side is sandwiched with another layer and fused, it looks, how do i describe it, like there's streaks. if that side is up, it burns off fine. i try to make sure the correct ...

does anyone have one of these puppys? how do they like them, are they any good? anyone have problems with them...?

thanks for the feedback.

hiya i've tried many glues and diluting it and it has always shown, for me anyways. i find using hairspray the best...

thanks for everyones repsonses. it looks like that area that is out of the groove isn't heating up, its not red when the temperature is ramping up. i presume i need to get the coil element replaced. i don't have a clue as to where or to whom i could get a kiln fixed. an appliance repairer? electrici...

upon further inspection, this is a front loader btw. i see the element coils have come out of the slot there supposed to be tucked in. the coil has contracted and therefore been pulled out. so i'd have to stretch it to get it back in. i don't know if that would harm it, to do so? hope this makes sen...

my perfect firing schedule is failing me. i've been using these times for 6 months, same kiln, same glass, same thickness. the kiln is just over a year old, a paragon. do kilns need to be re-calibrated or something i don't know about. it was quite a sudden change it worked and then suddenly was unde...

side bar here to paula jane, where do you buy PVA glue you were talking about?

thanks.

HELP! i need a new source for millefiori rods, frantz art glass isn't going to order in rods anymore. is there anywhere else that offers a good selection??

i've searched the archives for this but couldn't find a definitive answer.... i'm looking to buy a new kiln. i want a top loading kiln but i'm unsure about whether i should have a top element only or top and side elements. i do small fusing (inch or less) for jewellry and i am concerned the side ele...

hellu... i read a couple of the postings about the mille maker and have ordered one to give it a try. can anyone tell me what the diameter of rod does it make? i ordered mine from arrowsomethingorother. also what's the difference between noodles and stringers. i have never heard of noodles before is...
