    Re: Murrine technique

    Any time I've seen someone do one of those rolling pickups in the hot shop, they have the chips preheated on a plate in the kiln. I imagine you could do something similar with boro, but you'd need a...

    Re: mold question, help me out

    Yeah, those indents in the edge in particular mean that getting the right heat base is pretty crucial. Too little and you're not changing the shape, too much (or if the heat is too deep into the...

    Re: mold question, help me out

    To use the sideways molds, you have to spin the plug while it's still a bit hot (like a marble mold). If you have both molds in your possession, I'd use the first kind to get the basic form (press >...

    Re: Devitrification In Physically Unreachable Places

    I'm not sure I get it. You didn't make the piece, but it's your job to fix it? And how did devitrification "pop up" if not in the flame? Are you sure it's even actual devit, and not just "chill...

    Re: can someone help me price these sherlocks

    That's crazy high. I mean, good for you that people in your area are willing to pay that much, but in shops that I deal with I'd expect to see pieces like that fetch more like $75-80 retail.

    Got my ticket paid off at the last minute, as usual.

    Now I'm broke again, so I'll be doing pipe demos all week for 99¢ a pop.

    If you can't find me, I'm probably sleeping under the bus. ...

    Looks like I missed it, too. Maybe NS should revisit the Cosmic Orange formula when they're not so busy, hmm? I miss that shit.

    I miss Cosmic Orange; I used the last of my old stash a couple years ago. How much do you have, and how much do you want for it?
