Right before you had posted the picture, I had realized you had not, and was awaiting it, as you never disappoint with your Christmas suncatchers. Really do enjoy them.

Thanks
Mike

Thanks Bert. Have a great week. Mike

Thanks Bebe, I'll give it a try, with a really slow schedule and see what happens. Thanks again. Mike

I recently took Patty Grays sink class. The mold we recieved is 19 in ID across, 9 3/4 deep. I do not have a kiln big enough to do the slumping. The local glass blower has offered the use of hers if either one will work. Options are, annealing kiln, side elements three sides, big enough to hold alea...

Charlie, Tony, thanks for the help. Mike

Thank you both. I though that might be the situation, and just wanted to make sure. Thanks again. Mike

I have a couple of SS rings, that I hope to use as drop out rings. Question is, can I? or will their be expansion/contraction problems. Will the ring (18 ga.) warp, will I be able to get the glass out of the ring. Thanks Mike

Thanks Brock. Have a good weekend. Mike

Couldn't find in the archive, so here's the question. Float glass circle 10in., 1/4in. glass. Using fiber paper design cut out. When slumping into a SS bowl, will I lose much of the design element. Thanks Mike

I use UV6800. It a silicone based adhesive, doesn't yellow. I have used it and haven't had a loose piece yet. Then again have only used it for 3 years. Comes in a 10oz. caulk gun tube, and a 4oz squeeze tube. I get it from Adhesive Plus (972) 422-2180. They are out of Texas, apparently they manufact...

Thanks Stewart, your a life saver. I owe ya. Mike

Which 3 key controller is it? Paragon sold 2. In the past it was the Bartlett board, now it is the Orton. I am a Paragon Certified repair person (That certificate and 10¢ still will not buy me a cup of coffee), but have the person drop me an e-mail with what the code is and then I can get them wha...

Brock, Phil, thank you both. Phil, it has been welded up, I will follow the recommendations of you both. Thanks Mike

Have aquired some 18 gauge stainless steel for rings. Has been cut into 3/4in. strips. Even though it will be lined with paper. should the SS, be prefired. Thanks. Mike

Your assessment is right on. For those who didn't get to do the class, I truely hope you get to in the future. But David, how could you leave Peaches out of your assessment, the two of you had such a bond.

Hi all, After much reading on this board, I've finally decided to by a Jen-Ken kiln. I'm getting it directly from them so that I can just go pick it up and save on shipping. I thought I knew what I wanted untill they asked me if I wanted to get the kiln with or without the viewing window. I have an...

Thanks, Ron & Charlie for the response. By the way Charlie, really like your gate. Thanks again Mike

Good morning Ron. On the comment about making your mold, if you were to make your mold 2-3 x deeper, would you still use the raku clay, or would it be too deep and create the possibility of fracture upon cooling off. Thanks. Mike

Brock, can I assume it'll be better that the week we had at Appalachian Center for Crafts. Mike

New to the board, and need loads of help. To start with, after reviewing the archieve, didn't find the answer I was looking for. If I have a wrought iron shape, and put my glass in it, with out some sort of kiln wash to the sides or fire paper, will the glass stick to the sides, and during to coolin...
