Marla, This seems like overkill for a first kiln, but on the other hand, you know you will never have to replace it for lack of size. One of the things you NEED to investigate before buying this kiln is if you have enough power or breaker panel space, to be able to run it. According to the Jn-Ken pa...

There are a couple more methods that might work for you, especially if you don't like the square holes that fiber paper gives you. 1. Toothpicks dipped in a THICK mixture of kiln wash. Place these like you would the fiber paper. Ventilate the kiln ever so slightly to allow the fumes from the toothpi...

Ceramic 2/4 hole tubing
I'm wanting to add a different thermocouple to my kiln and I need some of the ceramic tubing that the TC wire is passed thru, into the kiln. Does anybody know of a reasonable source for these ?? Ideally, I'd like 4 hole, as I might add a seperate TC for an overtemp alarm. I've seen them made of mull...

Brock, I agree, it seems every item photo uploaded gets rave reviews. I just left a forum where this was the norm. Frankly, on that other forum I could have posted a pile of cat sh*t and somebody would have asked me when I was going to put it on eBay. But, to answer your question, critisim is due wh...

Al - I have the 3 key Sentry Xpress controller on my Paragon Caldera. The way I handle the Add Time / Add temp is to make both (or either) of these longer/hotter than I think I'll need. Usually it is the Time that is in question when making a piece and not the temp. So, if I think it will take 30 mi...

If the glass formed into the object that you were trying to make, and if it survived the cool down, then there is no reason you cannot bring to back up for an anneal soak and ramp down. The only thing to take into account is the size and thickness of the object. You might have to ramp it slowly to k...

Sticking temperature of stainless steel
Does anybody know at what temp glass starts to stick to stainless steel ??
I have a project where I will not be able to use paper or kiln wash on, and I need to fire to about 1200 degrees.
So, does stainless stick to glass if it is 1200 ??

I recently bought the MK145 to cut glass with. Yes, it is VERY loud and also, seems too fast for cutting small pieces of glass. So, to solve both of these, I used a 1500 watt industrial light dimmer to slow it down to a more reasonable speed. Now, you can work at it without feeling like you need ear...

SS cookie cutters ??
For small shapes, I wonder if you could use stainless steel cookie cutters. You might want to cut the handle away, to give better access for placing the glass.
