    I understand, I'm sorry you are having a hard time with things, I hope you feel better soon.

    I was just really bummed because I had plans to use all that yellow and red and orange for flowers. I...

    For Sale: Re: Old color 5 pounds

    Ok, so my package just showed up, and the bundle of color I got is clearly not the one in the picture. There are about two dozen sticks of cadmium colors showing in the picture while there isn't a...

    For Sale: Re: Old color 5 pounds

    Yeah, I've been waiting on an invoice for a bit but he just sent it today, so this should be done, I'll post when I get it.

    I think he said he had some more around though.

    Re: Want to make glass torch. Valve sourcing?

    As someone who made their own torch and used it until I could buy a real one(pictures are on this forum somewhere), let me chime in here.

    It's almost certainly not going to be worth doing. By the...

    For Sale: Re: Plug and play control boxes

    Great, thanks.

    One last thing, I see that you have mentioned some brands to avoid for SSRs, do you have any suggestions on a known good one?

    For Sale: Re: Plug and play control boxes

    Well, for what it's worth, this has been running quite regularly for over a year now without any failure.

    I'm well aware that the components are marginal, but at the time, my choice was that or...

    Yeah, I had basically no money at the time and was just trying to scrape something together that would work, then I just kind of left it in place because it worked. I have little doubt that some...

    What are your thoughts on mercury relays for these? It looks like you can find them for a reasonable price on ebay, would it be worth changing out my SSR for one? The thing is always getting fairly...

    I did the same thing, but it was annoying enough that I made my own door by removing a brick from the height extender ring the kiln came with and making a door to cover the gap with sheet metal and...

    Re: Brass Repair, Y valves, flashbacks etc.

    The numbers just don't add up.

    New brass parts are not super expensive, and the material is heavy, so shipping isn't cheap, further reducing any possible savings for repair over replacement. When...

    Re: solid crushed opal

    The way I saw it done it was applied in several smaller layers and each layer was cooked in a bit, I imagine this helped reduce trapped air.

    Re: Affordable effective blacklight

    You need to check the wavelength.

    Different UV colors respond differently, but in general, you will get a stronger reaction from a blacklight with a lower wavelength. A 365 nanometer is likely to...

    Re: Glass Lens Casting

    How long and how did you dry the mold before firing?

    It looks like your bottom is thicker, which could make it take much longer to fully expel moisture than the top, which could easily be enough...
  17. Re: I have a lot of raw glass I need to clean?

    If you have an extra one you can pretty easily remove the copper brushes, a lot of people do that to use them for cleaning airguns.
  18. Re: I have a lot of raw glass I need to clean?

    You could make something like a bore snake if you have a lot to do, it's a tool for cleaning gun barrels, basically a small weight on a thin cord with a thicker micro fiber towel section at the end....
  19. Re: I have a lot of raw glass I need to clean?

    Usually means deionized in the context of water. Typically, it refers to distilled water that is taken one step further and run through a deionizing block.

    Re: solid crushed opal

    Something else you might want to try, I saw someone roll really hot glass in opal shards like a frit, then coat that in multiple layers of clear frit to seal.

    Re: Substitute for Ashes?

    I assume you mean cremains?

    If so, those are the powdered remains of bone after a high temperature fire, they are called ashes but don't really have much of a resemblance.

    That's a bummer about that coming up, I wonder if your account got flagged somehow but another user.
