Hi Bonnie,
I have had a DIGITRY GB4 controller that will run five kilns for thirty plus years. I've never used that many kilns but search this board and you'll probably find lots of references to them. I like it very much.

Hi Kilninit, Welcome to the WGB. If you want help on a particular topic or piece of equipment you will be more likely to get a useful answer if you include specifics. In this case the type of kiln you are using, make and model or, if homemade, a description of how it is made: fire brick with a fibre...

Maybe the contamination has burned off now?

There's a proper scientific term for that, I'm sure, but it's late.

Can you remember if you had a kiln when you made it?

If so, could it be a powder wafer?

Hi, and welcome to the board. Type 'Morganica tempered glass' into the search bar. If that doesn't get you enough posts to answer your question try just typing 'Fusing tempered glass'. I do remember several years ago that Morganica posted quite a bit about her experiments with tempered shards. You a...

Just came across this older thread where one of the contributors mentions a film on the glass. I don't know if it's the same problem as yours but the answers that follow may help you:

I won't wade into the 'halo' discussion as I've not experienced it.I'd like to make a suggestion about your house wiring in preparation for a kiln. Disclaimer: I am not an electrician. This is about my personal experience. Unless your house is really old with dodgy wiring that should be replaced any...

Thank you so much, Brad! I'll see if I can make contact. :D Bingo! After much searching with no luck I found another site that seems to be related and shows long-lasting tips. I haven't made actual contact yet as it's the weekend but I'll contact the vendor and report back in case it helps someone ...

Thank you for those suggestions, Kevin. It seems that Butch doesn't have her on-line store anymore. I checked the others, too. Although small tips (1/16" and 3/32") are available I couldn't find any info about the gun they were made for, Empire. There are local suppliers with small ceramic...

Hi Buttercup! Unfortunately, my local supplier only stocks the Unifrax HD boards in 24" x 36". To special order a larger board was ridiculously expensive and I'd be stuck with massive quantities of HD board! #-o P.S. You didn't mention your winning lottery ticket numbers! I'm all ears! Tr...

Thank you so much, Brad! I'll see if I can make contact.

How do you plan to lift it?

Edit: Oops, missed the 'light-as-a-feather' reference!

I like the HD fibre board. Do they come big enough for your project?

I'm hoping someone can help me out with a brand name and specs. for a good sand carving gun. The excellent one I had in Canada didn't make it here. Possibly Border Security thought it was a weapon and we have really strict rules about those. Or maybe it just got nicked, anyway, I don't have it and w...

Hi, Don!

I have received confirmation from Fletcher-Terry that their #2 1/2 Diamond points will fit the DP 2 Point driver.

I have an elderly Red Devil DP 2 Point setter (no, not the red flower). It's a little hand-operated tool for firing diamond-shaped fasteners into window frames or picture frames to secure the glass in place.Great tool. I no longer have the box the points came in so don't know what size to order. The...

@theanimallover, I use the 'powder' because it's easy, lasts multiple firings and I've not had it stick to the glass. That said, I mainly paint and fire. If it did happen to stick, I can't imagine under what scenario, it should brush or wash off (not into the house drains). I will definitely report ...

Thanks very much, Don.

Brad's PDF downloadable here about smooshing is helpful. I'm having fun with mini-kiln sized pieces so far.

Don, or Brad, where can I find this PDF please?

You're welcome!
