Product Description

Versatile high-temp board can be cut and sanded just like wood. The board is extremely heat resistant (up to 2012° F) and has many applications.

  • Use to build a reusable mold box for casting.
  • Use as kiln shelving. Delphi Tip: support the board well with short kiln posts and use fiber paper on top of the board to prevent sticking.
  • Use to create custom molds like drop rings. Delphi Tip: cover with fiber paper before slumping.
  • Use for back up kiln insulation. The combination of rigidity and resistance to heat makes high-temp board excellent for this application.

  •   Great for drop-outs
By on
Pros : Easy to cut and shape, sands down well, holds up well after firing, and won't stick to the glass. I used this product to make a drop-out mold for use with a thick pot melt disk. It holds weight and leaves a clean surface. I was able to bevel the sides of the hole I cut in the board and sand them smooth for a nice finish. Quick and easy.
Cons : As expected, upon firing the board produces quite an odor. Ventilation is a must for safety.
Other Thoughts : This is a great product for making custom shapes without a lot of fuss.

  •   cheap crap
By on
Pros : It's cheap!
Cons : This is the cheapest grade vermiculite I've ever seen, crumbles, dusty, guaranteed to wreck whatever you're working on . I bought it to confine casting pieces and found it a total waste. No matter how careful you are it will wind up in your piece.

When and how did you get started in stained glass? Ive been interested in stained glass for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would sit in churches and watch the (often) biblical depictions come to life when a stray ray of sunlight cast its illumination our way. Sun shadows dancing. I dabbled in many media over the years, trying to find an outlet for some of the visions careening inside, but none of them took. Drawing, painting - even watercolours - no amount of professional training could guide my hand in a satisfactory way. But then there was the glass. I lived abroad for a few years, and wound my way through Europe on my way back to the States when I finished my Peace Corps Service. My last international destination was Paris, where one of my closest friends lives as an organist. Two beautiful autumn

4 Ways to Stop Procrastinating Today
Apr 30, 2010
Chances are, right now, in reading this blog post, youre avoiding an overdue task. I too was avoiding a laundry list of work-related tasks in writing this. Procrastination is a part of life, and its certainly always been a part of mine. As a teenager, my parents would accuse me of putting off everything from piano practice to math homework. Id vehemently deny their charges hissing back, I work better under pressure. The truth was, I often felt overwhelmed, under-productive and anxious. Over the years, Ive been able to combat my avoidance issues using 4 tools. The trick is constantly reminding myself of these actions, because they do not come naturally to me. 1. Just Say No. I say yes to everything. Need someone to head up that event? Sure. Want me to design 12 posters for the Car Wash? No problem. Take your kid to daycare? Of course.
