Steel Blue and SuperSpray
I have a 15" round steel blue disk fired that matured into silver, which is what I wanted. I now have to put the design on top and fire that. I noticed some devit flakes in the silver and my question is if I use SuperSpray over this silver, will I lose any of the silver color? The silver does n...

Not sure if this is directed at me, but I want to clarify that PacMix Color is NOT concrete. It's a fine powder that's used to color concrete.Dennis Brady wrote: NEVER......repeat NEVER...use ANY material that contains either cement or plaster. Both these ingredients absorb water and will produce mildew.

Tried the magnet, didn't stick. I'm sure it's stainless, but comparing it to a stainless bowl I've used for slumping that hasn't peeled, it's a lot thinner. I'm guessing it's a poorer quality of stainless. What really gets me is I paid $14 for each bar tray and it's probably $0.50 of stainless that'...

I've been using these for pattern bars http://www.artglass1.com/fuseWEB/pattern-bar-2.jpg and have noticed peeling. I use ThinFire as a barrier so luckily it's not getting on the glass. But I was wondering what was causing it. I'm also wondering how many more uses I'll get out of them before they fa...

and the new silver sharpie is the worst... it takes a solvent to get it off, and any left behind fuses into the glass leaving a silver mark... maybe it can be used for design elements. Tony I used the silver Sharpie to mark on BE gold purple. To clean the glass I put it in extremely hot soapy water...

Hi Indigo, I haven't used noodles but I have used a stringers a lot. One of the problems with stringers is to prevent them from rolling around on the project, or kiln shelf. What I do to prevent this is to grind one side of the stringer flat. To do this press the stringer against a grinder bit with...

Sundance in Mountain View has them. I also heard that San Jose State has them, but I could never find any info on it. There's also the Crucible in Berkeley. I'm sure there are more, but that's all that's popping into my head at the moment. http://www.sundanceglass.com/ http://www.thecrucible.org/ I ...

I was getting my bubbles with dried shelves, but not cured. I would put the kiln wash on, let dry a day or two, then fuse. Now I put the kiln wash on, let dry, then pre-fire. I don't know if I have to let it dry before I pre-fire, but I have a good thing going right now and I don't want to mess it u...
