I have a crack running across my lid which I'll need to rebuild or replacefairly soon. So I have two questionsfor you: 1) should I build a new one myself OR purchase a replacement lid from the Manufacture? 2) if I consider building it myself (which I think can't be that hard) Are there any resources on;ine that might illustrate the steps or offer information? I will most likely upgrade to have elements in the lid if I do this.

My kiln is a Blue Diamond 23" side fire.

Any help would be most appreciated, thanks.

Mortar the crack and tighten the outer band . No need for new lid yet.

I would contact Phil Teefy at Rainbow glassworks. he makes his own kilns and I don't think there is anything on the subject that he doesn't know. He also has the elements if you decided to put one's on the lid of your kiln.

Do you have a link for Rainbow Glassworks?
