Convex polishing pads

I purchased the Felasetti Angle Grinder today. The polishing disks I purchased are different than those I've seen used and am wondering if they will work as well as a completely flat surfaced pad. Since granite city's expertise is really stone, all they could say about effectiveness on glass was &qu...

Mounting an Angle Grinder

I plan to purchase an angle grinder soon and wanted to get some feedback on possibly mounting the thing. I was wondering if I could fix mount on a bracket above my sink. I was thinking of insulating the bracket with thick accordian style rubber to hopefully eliminate electrical shocks! This should l...

Cynthia, I picked up a hand held garden sprayer at Home Depot last year and it works GREAT for kiln wash. It holds about a quart of wash and has a hand pump on top to create pressure to prevent the thing from clogging up. I keep kiln wash in it all the time (just shake it up before use). Hasn't clog...

I use my MAPP torch to heat the SS. This burns off any oils (if new mold), and works great for getting the KW to stick. Only takes a minute to two to apply wash, and a few minutes to let the mold cool. (I do this outside of course).

I just had a nice phone conversation with Rob (thanks for the contact Tony). He said the Rampmaster II IS designed to pick up the schedule where it left off during the outage. This only happens if the temp. hasn't dropped too far. In other words, if the power was off for 10 hours, the controller is ...

Power loss - strange thing with kiln

I was firing my kiln yesterday afternoon when we lost power (out about 2 hours). I have an Evenheat with a Rampmaster II controller. When the power came back on, I decided not to start the slump again, but wait until this morning. Well, this morning when I opened the kiln, my plate had already slump...
