The Glassline Pens are used as a lining and shading material for glass. They're simple in design, easy to use, and can be thinned with water. A metal tip such as a precision decorator tip is recommended for fine line drawings on glass. The Glassline colors can be applied between multiple layers of glass or on the top surface for a complex dimensional look. Glassline colors may be sprayed to achieve subtle shading variations on glass. Glassline Pen colors are compatible with most types of glass from Float to 90 and 96 COE. For best results "tack fuse" individual sheets of glass before stacking your full fuse. Glassline colors are best fired to 1500 degrees F, but may be fired lower or higher depending upon desired results. Glassline products are lead-free and food safe when fired.

This is a true Cone 10 Test Kiln. Unlike most test kilns, the GlazeTech is designed to run on 240V but still only requires a 20Amp breaker. This gives us the power we need to design a truly useful chamber size. It's square design makes it perfect to fire test tiles on multiple levels, and with it's 14" square x 9" depth you can actually test short cylinders to see how your glaze performs on a vertical surface. Ship Wt. is 130 lbs.

A Cheat Sheet for Making Glazes! Convert Glaze Recipe Percentages Into the Correct Gram Weight! To Use: Simply move the slide to the correct batch weight and all of your glaze calculations are complete. Easily flip through to find the correct weight, of each ingredient (in the glaze recipe), under its corresponding percentage! GlazeCal is made of two 8.5" x 11" calculators. They are each made of sturdy, 2-sided calculator board and covered by a gloss varnish coating. Each calculator is held together with metal eyelets and glue.

Traditionally, potters fired their work either at low temperatures, as in earthenware, or at the high temperature that stoneware requires. However, a growing number of potters, particularly those who use electric kilns, are firing to a middle-range temperature, of which cone 6 is typical. Using mid-range temperatures saves fuel and expense, reduces wear on electric elements, yet allows the potter to achieve features shared by earthenware and stoneware. Because of the popularity of this technique, pottery suppliers have recently begun developing clay bodies and glazes suitable for the temperature range. In Glazes Cone 6, Mike Bailey surveys the growing trend in mid-temperature firing and guides the reader by practical knowledge. He discusses a range of different glazes, including special effects, glaze stains, and underglaze colors, giving both recipes and tips for ensuring success.

A reference book on glaze technology and practice. It discusses not only the calculation of glaze composition and formulae, but also glaze preparation from the initial crushing and grinding of raw materials through the actual making of the glaze. It also includes information on the use of gums and binders, flocculation and the use of suspending agents. The author also talks about application methods as well as how to remedy faults that may occur. A new chapter on health and safety has also been added. Net Wt. is 1.09 lbs.

Glazes from Natural Sources discusses rock types and other likely sources of supply, the making of test pieces, and the use of blend systems and constructions. The author also clarifies the Seger system of glaze presentation for those who, like himself, have found it difficult to grasp and apply. He covers, and supplies, formulae for glazes for all temperatures--from raku to stoneware and porcelain--and includes sample recipes. The book emphasizes careful planning and control to ensure results that are repeatable. This makes the science behind making glazes from natural sources both understandable and feasible.
