Well, I must have purchased the wrong silicone remover.......it did not work. I will return it. I used a diamond hand finishing pad, and now I will try the 800 kiln. At this point, I should have just remade a new project!! Ah well, the thrill of the chase!
Thanks for the replies!

Re: Repairing seam lines? Advice?
It sure is pretty....I kinda like the lines...how about "outlining" the entire moth and use as a design element? Or could you outline your moth with lime dichro/yellow dichro..or could you use your outline lines and extend them into the moth to provide additional interest? I know we usuall...

Re: Bubble squeeze?
Thanks for the suggestions...especially about 200 to 1225. I thought I had allowed space and temperature progression for the air.....but I will give your suggestion a try.
As to why I don't want the elements on top.......ummmmm, just because?
thanks again!

Re: Fern Leaf Fusing
If I remember correctly, use Glass Line paints over real fern leaves. The recommendation was to vent your kiln until you reached 1000 degrees, then fire as normal. It was featured in one of the glass magazines. Hope this helps.

Bubble squeeze?
I am working with a project that I cannot seem to get all my air bubbles out. The project is an 11 inch bowl. So, I fire my "blank"..... I have a flower in the middle with three small flowers spaced equally around the edge. I am working with Bullseye and capping with Tekta - so three layer...
