fer reelz, i have trouble even getting the glass i need, and pay significantly more than I did a few years ago.
this forum holds the knowledge of a university, and has been, and should be again the sane-ish town square of lampworking.
if you agree that modern social media rots the brain, then the melting pot...
yar, welcome!
less weight on the spindles, cheaper to machine, and should be plenty strong enough for what you do with it.
the spiritual healing sect got into Moldavite for it's "healing properties", and the price adjusted accordingly. colombianite is the new one, not sure of it's CTE , but it's a little less expensive
I'll kick in.
this place is still home.
Facebook is dogshit
them troll years were tough, bunch of people arguing just to argue, shit, this is the first day i've logged on in years, just couldn't take the tone.
i'd recommend hiring experienced scientific glassblowers; plenty of kids cum out of salem not knowing how to actually go about repairing complicated glassware.
you could probably get up and running...
Pm sent
I was fortunate enough to find a daytime job as a Glassblower, and it was health insurance that got me looking.
When I was married, and contemplating kids; I believed that I needed to procure some...

Customer service means a lot to me, and making clear tubes as I do, I need...
If your kiln roof is more crackedout than Bernie Worrell in the 80s, then get some ceramic fiber board to replace it rather than fucking with repairing the bricks/replacing the bricks.
Thing I love about "tip sharing",
It typically leads to something "deeper"...
Bwahahahahahaha!!
But no, really, quartz is rather rigid..
Boro will anneal below 1050
It just takes longer
If I'm firing decals, then I bring it up to 610C, venting the door of the kiln 1/4" from 300C to 400C, hold at 610C for twelve minutes, then down to annealing temp at the rate that the kiln naturally...
Concur. Only way is to check with a polariscope.
But the ramp down from the "annealing" temp to the "strain" temp is the most crucial.
Allowing the glass to slowly gain rigidity as the molecules...
I may be interested
Pics of the face and flame?
Thanks!
Happy you enjoyed it!
Haven't heard of any issues that were out of the ordinary, other than the complete nonsense that nick
Cums up with. Every kiln manufacturer has issues, EVERY one. One of his fake accounts (proven...
