Third slump of a Deep Bowl and this happened.how to prevent this In future?

So Jim what was the class you wanted to take from Brock? Was it one he was prevented from US travel to? You were on the board for a long enough time to 'know everything" weren't you? Perhaps the collective memories of old time board members could help? That Was the one, Irid on Irid with Avery...

Very Sorry to hear this..one of my greatest disappointments was his inability to teach a class I was supposed to take from him.He was free with his knowledge and a pioneer in glass fusing. He will be missed.

Hi, I am trying to get a clear polish on all sides with a Somaca wet belt sander, I am wondering if I can use cerium oxide with my Cork belt? Can't seem to find a 4x106 felt belt. THANKS

Can you mix dry enamel with clear powder to make custom colors?

Don, if you ha ent used the metal yet, I use kilnsjdlves and other refractory materials to provide the weight

Thanks Brad

Too many steps then

FYI..I routinely fire 2 levels in my kiln I fire to 1385 to tack fuse on the shelf, and use the floor under the shelf to slump, this seems to work well, but there is a good bit of difference in the temp.

While it did react, and there was some Halo, it wasn't nearly as intense as on the glass itself. Tried several different thicknesses of the powder, but it distorted the transparency in relation to its depth. So, these will just cost more in the future. So the answer is Yes, but....

Thanks, I always put the silver on top, I will run a cpl of text tiles tonight.

I have made pieces in the past with Silver foil on BE reactive Ice and gotten a nice fume pattern. I am wondering if I use Tekta and Reactive Ice powder with Silver it will give a similar effect?

THK on e bay, wide selection cheap and fairly durable...but lots out there.

Contacted Jim, and the other folks you referred me to Brad...working on it. Thanks

I need to replace the Fiber Board lid on my Glassglow kiln. It doesn't look too hard, just need to find some materia,l looks as if I need a 30x48" piece 2" thick. It doesn't appear there are any other support for this other than the edges, so rigidity is importa.nt. Suggestions?

Hoping that someone can save me some time. Loo king for the lowest temp I can fire 1or 2mm pressed glass to achieve a shiny finish? would a light dusting of clear powder help? trying to avoid any thickening or rolling of the edges Thanks

Just to update on this Tom immediately, and I after a bit of explanation have both received full refunds..Thank You Paypal.

Update, I received a. Package from China today that is from who responded to my order. Instead of a Potter's Wheel, I got an imitation Gold ring....whoopee!

The black seemed to come out fine..I sandblasted both sides and have it in now on thinfire to Firepolish.

Trying this with Black scrap now..?it's cooling
