Did a search in archives, but couldn't find info there. Does anyone have or know where I can get a complete list of all BE reactive colors. I have a partial list from a hi-fire class, but I've seen reactions to colors not listed on my chart. BTW, just out of curiosity, do spectrum colors react like ...

I have the Felisatti also. Thanks for the info. I'll give Granite City a call tomorrow to order brushes (whatever they are). You mentioned that the Alpha has a button that allows it to stay on continually. The Felisatti will do the same thing. I had trouble understanding how it worked at first, but ...

My fingers are faster than my brain. Rather than "is the worth the $$$. ", I meant, "is IT worth the $$$?"

Jeeezzz

Doing some research here, I ran across this link and was wondering if anyone's used it yet? If so, is the worth the $$$.

For those who may be researching Hi Fires - - The slab I removed this morning had quite a few small to med. bubble pits on the surface. I only fired to 1700 for about 45 minutes or thereabouts. There wasn't as much movement as I'd seen on those that I'd fired for 1.5 hrs +. (There's very little pitt...

Thanks Amy.

I understand that when the "batch" is melting, there's a great deal of movement happening. What I don't know is what's causing it to move after everything has settled out. Is it that at these temps, the glass is sorta boiling, though if that were the case, I would think there would be alot...

I've got a hi fire in the kiln right now and was wondering what the 1.5 to 2 hour hold at 1700 is for. Is it just to let bubbles surface? Is the glass continually moving at these temps? The reason I'm asking is because I've been watching the surface of the melt for about an hour at 1700, and it's &q...

I've often wondered if leaving the clay pot in place has an effect on annealing these melts? Somehow disturbs the evenness of heating/cooling. I've only done two melts, and both eventually cracked directly down the middle. Both were done in my smaller kiln (12" shelf max), and annealing schedul...

I read on a BB sometime back where someone equated their glass creations to having a baby. It's your creation, so naturally you think it's beautiful. Others may be thinking something else entirely. Honest impressions/feedback is so valuable to me. I welcome the negative as much as the positive. The ...

I plan on giving this as a Christmas gift to some fortunate or possibly unfortunate in my family this year. When family sees things I've done, they always say "that's beautiful", but what else can the say right. I'd like to venture beyond gift giving to possible, dare I say, income, but re...

My husband and I were in New Orleans a few weeks back and stepped into "Royal Cameo Glass". They featured many works by Ulla Darni. Beautiful work. Thought I share with others who are interested in painted designs. http://royalcameo.com/site/ulladarni/originalchandeliers/ullasoriginalchand...

I've just been commissioned to do a reproduction of Tiffany's "View of Oyster Bay" panel. I'm considering cutting a whole wisteria cluster and using paint to create the individual wisteria leaves. I'll be using Yough stipple and would need a low firing paint to prevent distortion to the gl...

I just purchased the GlasGlow 350D. It's square and takes a 24" shelf. I can't tell you how pleased I am with it. SOOO WELL MADE. None better. You'll have to get with Marty at Centre DeVerre to find out if Paul's still making them. Heard he sold the rights to Paragon. http://www.cdvkiln.com/men...

Thanks Brock. It was 850 in my kiln. Your answer surprised me tho. I thought it would have been below 500. Glad I posted and you answered.

I need to remove liver of sulfur patina on silver foil. Can someone tell me at what temps. it will burn off.

Thanks ...K

I've been successful fusing non tested spectrum to other non tested spectrum, but ALWAYS tested first. Spectrum's irid. clear crystal ice tests ok with quite a few of the other non 96, but not all. One thing I've noticed about testing is that a pull test IS NOT a reliable indicator of compatiblity. ...

Kim, try this link to the archives. If the link doesn't work, try searching "Cerium Oxide" in the archives. Good info was posted there a couple or so months ago.

The link on Bob's contact page isn't working and I've just received an undeliverable email to him. Does anyone know if he's still teaching and how to contact him.

I've used a number of things for dams. The easiest are stainless steel molds made at a metal shop. Mine are about 1" high and I had them formed into circles/squares. It's critical that you line the inside of each mold with 1/8" fiber paper to prevent glass from sticking and cracking. I've ...
