I just got done fusing my first piece. Its ok But I have some areas where it looks as if it did not fuse all the way. It’s together but there is a line between the colors where the clear bottom glass can bee seen. I would assume the solution would be to soak at fuse temp longer? Here is my fire...

I usually use brass for rebar. My supplier told me he caries bronze bar as well. I don't know anything about bronze other than that the Greeks killed alot of people with it. Is it softer or more flexable than Brass?

My source of whiting dried up. My other source says it's made with limestone. The old one said calcium carbonate. Is this still the same stuff? Liam

questions... how may firings do you get out of one of your hydroperm-fiberglass molds. and I'm mistified by the fiberglass. Not boat fiberglass? I didn't know there was a difference. Where should I look for the right stuff? Thanks Liam

I put it in the dishwasher and it came out crystal clear. Liam

Hi Jerry. I tried your talc trick to try and replicate a glass texture. First firing got a huge bubble. Slowed down the schedule to 200 deg/hr and the glass mashed down the texture in the talc about 50% after firing to 1400, and still had a bubble although much smaller. Do you have any...

Need a firing schedule for bent panels for a lamp. Using Hydoperm for a mold Thanks if you can help Liam

got a schedule I can use for K11 bent panel lamp inserts? please share. Liam

I'm getting trapped air bubbles using hydroperm. I'm thinking that there might be 2 causes. #1. I am ramping up extremely fast to 1400 after the initial slow heat up to 1000. This is to try and avoid devit. My denver can do it in about 10 minutes which I'm thinking is maybe to fast and is not...

One more bending question. I am bending panels for a dome swag lamp. K11 glass. The problem I am having is that half of my panels come out with a fold in the glass, similar to what you would get with a floral former, but not as large of a fold of course. I am using glass about 1" oversize...
