Is it effective to spray kiln on a shelf using a simple household spray bottle - one you'd use to spray water on plants? I'm going to fire irid face down and want to be sure the kiln washed surface is in good shape. I've also read about the pros and cons of using thin fire when firing irid face down...

Thanks Valerie
I thought that might be the best solution as I struggled with the stringers tonight

If someone could give me some additional tips for cutting 2mm stringers, I'd be grateful. Doing my best to follow Cynthia's advice but I cannot seem to cut the stringers so they are all the same length. The piece I am working on has a base of two 2 mm pieces of tekta, with a design consisting of 2mm...

I love this forum too
While I've not had much time for fusing in many months due to busy work schedule and family responsibilities, I frequently read this forum and love the way it keeps fused glass alive for me
Thank you to all

Happy holidays to all Finally have time to get back into my studio and I noticed a couple of the corners on BE molds are deteriorating slightly. Would you recommend sanding them a bit to even it out and then reapplying kiln wash ? Can I reapply kiln wash just to those spots or should I reapply it to...

Ok...magnets done...any suggestions on best way to send them? Does each one need to be individually wrapped to be safely mailed? Thanks for the advice
Susan

My molds came too
Thanks, Brad
Excited to try them out
Where on your site are the directions?

I'll try bowing down after I close the lid

Valerie and others,

What else?
Thanks

thanks for the advice

Hi My kiln is in an unheated attached garage. I've never had problems firing it during the winter....but it has never been this cold since I've lived in this house. Temps in the mid hudson valley of NY will be below zero at night and single digits during the day. Does anyone think there are issues I...

Thanks Mike for the Idea of editing in photoshop. it did not occur to me but I think should solve most of my problems.
Risa....my spouse is also a photographer. He'll do the photoshop work for me.

I could use some help. I have a difficult time taking good pictures of my plates & bowls. No fancy camera....using either my cell phone or iPad. Any suggestions for better pictures? I've put pieces on a light box, but that distorts the colors. Also tried putting the pieces on a while piece of pa...

Thanks, Brad.
I've been emailing the topics to myself & now have quite a collection.
What an easier way to do this.
