Re: Silver Sand for Sandmold
Yes, now I understand the problem: did translate the Dutch word, but now I realise it is bad translation :) Zilverzand (Dutch) = Quartz sand , silica sand or white sand is fine-grained, white, extremely pure sand with low iron content . It consists almost entirely of quartz (SiO 2 ) Now I know it is...

Re: Curious to know !
@Kevin: Thank you for your answer ! As for the book: Great, but for the few pieces I fire in a year (hobby !) I use the firing schedules from Spectrum. For the first time I did fire a 1 1/2 inch thick piece and did note the wrong things on a piece of paper to set the schedule. Stupid! So, this has h...

Re: Making your own..... shards
I don't understand the question :?: Brad Walker writes in his book about this ! Making your own "shards". Possible via a drop (and a square is to prefer) and making a square (RVS) with nichrome wire on it. Sorry, my knowledge of the English language is too poor to explain it on the right ...

Making your own..... shards
Hello! I read about this in the Warmglass book and here on this site.
I wonder what is the best method: Drop square, or a square with wire on it (and what is then the best amount between the wires ??) ??
Thank you for your help ! Jan de Jong

Re: 4 Seasons.... Break
About point 1: I did contact Bert Weiss and he suggested to fire the UV-glued piece to 200-225 C. with a 15 min. hold. Good chance the glass will be seperated !! Thank you very much Bert !! After cleaning and removing rest of the glue I can refire the piece. I will tackfuse this piece with a (fully...
