Problem slumping small dish

Hi Sarah

I have an SC2 with a bead door, so I can't really see how it is doing till it's done!

It was 3rd time lucky ... I tried Sue's schedule (thank you Sue) and it has worked!!! I'll take a picture in the daylight and will post it up in the next few days!

Thank you all for your posts, really appreciate it!

Well done Trudi

- i am lucky enough to have a hobby fuser but never peep - problem with fusing is in my opinion it's all about the programme and waiting to see if your lovely design is intact

looking forward to pictures

Trudi, you can open the SC2 door for a quick peek. A few seconds only and you should be wearing kiln glasses in theory to protect your eyes. If I'm making a large bead, say a rose, that won't go through the bead door, I just open the large door and pop it in that way with no problems.

never thought of that - I don't have kiln glasses, would diddy's be ok?

Not sure Trudi. You'd better wait for a full time fuser to come along.

No I dont think so, you need protection from infra red when looking in the kiln, I think diddys protect against flare which is not the same. I know you can't use the welding ones for the kiln to lampwork, so it's a different spectrum I suppose or something technical like that. They aren't expensive from warm glass or ask a friendly welder for their mask.

Edit: looked on warm glass and diddys do both infra red and the flare so should be ok. Hurrah!

That is very pretty Trudi.

Thanks Pat, it was my first time using decals too!

Hi Trudi, Glad that you got it to work in the end, nice colours. Janet

lovely and so is the chain, did you do that too?

Trudi you need special glasses for looking in the kiln when fusing. They have green lenses.

Trudi · February 16, 2013, 09:01:07 AM

Hi Pauline, yes I did make the chain, it was from a Dragonfly Lynn kit!

Now I did have some of those green lense glasses ..... where oh where did I put them .......

Hi Trudi

When I bought my initial kit, liquid glass made it up for me and for opening the kiln they sent me a huge yellow helmut with a visor, looks like part of a fancy dress costume.
