Thanks for responding Kevin. My GB1 has a solid state relay in it. And it wasn't the wires in the GB1 controller box that melted. It was the wires in the auxiliary box which is wired to the GB1 box and plugs into the wall that failed. The box was designed to shut down the kiln if the solid state rel...

I was hoping someone could help me understand why my GB1 keeps frying. This is the second time the wires in my auxiliary box keep burning up. I had him build me this auxiliary box to make sure that if the relay went bad, it would shut the kiln down. 2 1/2 ago the wires literally melted, and Ron had ...

Cynthia, Was there a reason you used an amino silane on this piece? It's really hard to find a small quantity of an amino silane and it doesn't have all that long of a shelf life. Were you using it for another specific project and you happened to have it? Whose brand did you use? After reading about...

My favorite is still Liquid Luster that I buy from HIS. I'm not sure what it's made of, but you don't have to use very much of it. I've tried some other products, but they didn't give the same results. What I like about it is that you can put on a very thin coat, and protect it from finger prints an...

Anne, I have a very nice Paragon controller that I would sell you cheaply. It is a wall mounted affair, with fairly limited use so it's in very good shape. It is only wired to run one kiln at a time, but if your kilns were on wheels, they could be rolled around and it could be used with various kiln...

I made some really nice, thick 2" high abstract stainless steel molds, intending to use them primarily with frit. This is because I have a lot of frit (rather than billet), and most of the mold shapes I made fit inside each other (creating voids) and I'm not sure I can cut billet small enough t...

Hi Jeff,
You may also try fusing your dots using irid glass face down. This may prevent the kiln wash or thin fire from sticking to the glass. Irid glass seem to release much better than non irid glass. That may be the simplest way of accomplishing the task.

Thank you Al! That was a great link. I hope to meet you when I come out to Michigan in July to visit Sue.

Thank you all for the information. Bert, did you mean that I should order the proportional control for 4-20 milliamp current loop as an add-on option? Is there any way you can describe in simple terms what this means? Also, I don't understand what you mean by you'd rather have an SCR rather than a S...

For those of you using solid state controllers (including the solid state relays and connectors), can you give me some advice as to which controller to buy? I want to by one for various reasons. One is for better temperature control, controlling the elements separately (if possible), and because I'v...
