I just use a crate for the big glass, but I found these, and they work really well for glass that's about 12 - 13 inches. I bought a bunch of them and have them standing on end so I can slide the glass in and out.

I don't know anything about the turbo top, but I would hesitate to go up that fast for fear of breaking the pot containing the glass.

Good luck on the sawing when I didn't see a tack fusing annealing schedule in there. :-k I agree with Kevin -- Take a look at Spectrum's suggested firing schedules and adjust your annealing holds and ramps to match the appropriate schedule for whatever thickness of glass you have. http://system96.c...

This is beautiful!!

What a great idea! I never would have thought of this.

Barb

I'd go up at 50 dph (or slower) to 1000 degrees, then come back down through the recommended annealing schedule... Good Luck!

Here are the suggested firing and annealing recommendations from System 96:

I would follow the 1 inch recommendation since you are firing on the sand bed.

I use the Taurus 3 - it works fine for 3mm glass. I've also cut thicker (up to 3 layers) - it's very hard on the blade, but it will do it.

Barb

Wow - it's beautiful!

Barb

Maybe this will help..

I love these - they are just beautiful.

I use BE Kilnwash.

Barb

I soak them in vinegar overnight. The kiln wash comes right off and then rinse them with water. It works like a charm.

Barb

These are so beautiful. Every time I see a new piece, I just say "wow"...

Carol,

I love your work - it's fabulous!

Barb

I really like this too. I like how the combing pulls together the different elements in the piece. Very nice!

When I click on "view active posts", the only posts that I see active are in the Buy/Sell and the Classes/Events folders. Is anyone else having the same problem?
