hi guys i have a 12 mm x 22 cm round blank that i want to press between 2 shelf's the top one will have 3 shelf's to give weight on it , the idea is to defuse the colours and bring the 12 mm back to 6 mm but cant find a program that i think will work. i'm all so worried about the whole mass taking t...

ah i hadn't thought of it reacting,,,i'll use an old shelf,,thanks guys for the info

hi guys,, can someone tell me if i can use copper pipe as a mould for laying glass over, for glass weaving . i realize i'll have to use kiln paper or kiln wash , but am not sure if the pipe will distort too much. would only be taking the temp to 700c and as copper melds at 1085c it should be OK many...

while i'm sure this has been done before,, i'm all so sure, that there are newbies like my self who would like this,,the photos say it all just make sure the cloth is a very fine weave ,and hold it tight as you screw the top back on

I hear you guys in Arizona are going to try a new fusing technique ""pavement fusing"",,you may want to put your glass in the ice box before cuttung

oh dam ,,and bugger ,,,oh my kingdom for a kiln controller,,,,had the kiln up to 820c for a full fuse with the woven glass in side then a bit of an in house emergency took me away from the kiln for like 2 hours,,,needless to say it is ruined ,,,,,,,but on a bright note the iridised glass face down i...

thanks guys for the info ...the glass is in the kiln iridised side and "hoping" ,,will anneal as a 9mm,,,

thanks guys for the info ...the glass is in the kiln iridised side and "hoping" ,,will anneal as a 9mm,,,

thanks for that Bard ,,its not a fuseable, will be hoping it lasts

hi guys hope your weather is better than mine,, The mission: i'm having a go at glass weaving and want to do a full fuse of the "cloth" on to a piece of iridised glass,this, then to become the inside of a bowl . i'm not worried about air bubbles,in the finish blank. The question :which way...

i guess it was too good to be true,,,,would of been nice as i don't has a lot of room in the studio and having all 3 in one would of been nice...oh well back to looking,,and thanks guys

hi guys hope you are all well..after my diamond laser 5000 blew up YET ANOTHER motor i'm thinking it's time to look at something else to work thick glass (12 to 15 mm ) so am looking at a tile saw and came across INLAND LAPIDARY SwapTop All-In-Wonder 8" TRIM SAW, FLAT LAP, CABBING MACHINE so th...

you could try drilling a very small hole in to the bubble with a diamond bit, then re slumping it with it on the bottom,,but make sure your air holes are open in the mould,,,,well that's what i would try ,,am sure someone will have a better idea

thanks guys so the info ,,,looks like i just use the thin paper,,,although i may look at cutting a ring some day,,,,i'm, sure there are some ideas to explore there sometime

hey thanks guys i'll try using 3 layers of the thin,,,i take it that putting a cut in the ring is not going to work

hi guys some thoughts on s/steel rings please. i am thinking of cutting my 21 cm ring on one side to help with expansion and contraction. i know thick kiln paper would work but i'm not able to get any in NZ ,so would use a few layer of thin paper and a hacksaw cut on one side of the ring,,has any on...

hi guys just wanted to show off my first real success and thankyou all for your help and info.. while not in any way perfect ,i,m still pleased . 210 mm by 60 mm,,onward and upwards i say ,,,now to try drop rings

i guess i did't explain my self very well,,the idea is to just use the top half of the kiln,,,save on the power bill,,

hi all I have a quite deep kiln 380 x 380 x 420 mm kiln with 2 sets of elements on the sides . I'm thinking of dividing the kiln in to 2 parts top and bottom by putting in a shelf of microporous silica broad (it a kiln liner broad) i would use fire bricks to set the shelf on and make it as close as ...

i'm sure there will be some one who will say not to ,,but why not try and refuse this . turn it over put dams around it ,,if you can line it up ,i see one corner has really slumped ,,but still it may be worth looking at ,that way you will have a nice flat slab to do some thing with,,i have done this...
