I use Bn for all of my molds but use BE kilnwash for my shelves.
Works for me.

Re: The screw on running pliers.
I use the pliers without the pads because of that reason.

Maybe try to fuse the powder first then refuse with the silver?

slumping mold for 3 d animals
Sometime, a long time ago in a land far far away, I seem to remember a slumping mold that was designed to make 4 legged animals stand up.
Does anyone have any idea as to where I can get this mold?
This "kit" also had full line drawings for some animals.
Thank you so much.

Re: 1/4 inch jaw running pliers
Also make sure that the running pliers are perfectly vertical throughout the cut.\
Also. keep the pressure the same through out the cut.

Re: Glass/Cash Survey
I whole heartedly agree. Sometimes it is value perceived. I remember when I started doing Shows, I had some little baubles that I was asking $5 each and was selling maybe 5 or 6 during a 3 day show. One time another artist at the show told me "you really should charge more for your glass. and d...

Re: White spirit
I use "mineral spirits" here in the U.S. as a cleaning agent for my glass before firing. I also use it in my Toyo glass cutter as a lubricant. The really good thing about it is that you do not have to do any more cleaning A gallon costs about $5.00 us and a gallon will last fore a LOOOOOON...
