Please I need a fusing experts advise, I have a slumping mold I've coated with 4 coats of Primo primer kiln wash but I've decided I'd rather use MR-97 on the mold instead; I know I can remove the kiln wash by with water and a brush, I believe I have removed most of the kiln wash the mold has a slight purple color my question is, Do I need to make sure all of the kiln wash is removed before I can spray the mold with MR-97? If there is still a slight purple color that would indicate there is still some kiln wash residual correct? Is there any thing else I need to do before I can use the MR-97?

I have finished a semi circle copper foiled project with 225 pieces measuring 64 in X 32 (approx. 11 sq ft). I have framed it with 1/2" U zinc came. I was planning on reinforcing the project using 1/8" steel rebar and 1/3 intervals vertically. Will my project be sufficiently reinforced?

Really like 96 but switching over takes careful organization to keep the 90 separate. Also expensive if you have all 90 frits.

@ladylinda321 I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Yes, that is correct, one should do it.

@gatormichals like ovens, kilns vary and sometimes small adjustments need to be made to accomodate the kiln size, where the elements are, etc. Based on the results you got I would shorten the hold time at the highest temperature. Maybe try 30 minutes. We tested a mold like this and we found that we had to watch it as it started dropping to be sure we weren't going to fast. You don't want to open your kiln up much, but it's okay to open it just enough to peek in. Good luck!

I need advise, I made the system 96 Poppy sundae dish; I used COE 96 glass I followed all of the instructions and the firing schedule to the letter, however when I fired the dish the drop section for the bowl dropped way too much and melted down or the foot. The throat / neck portion of the bowl was way to thin and ended up braking, I believe it was because it couldn't support the weight on the top lip of the bowl. What happened, what did I do wrong? Can a Delphi expert or some one with more experience can offer assistance.

Hi it is me again with rebar questions... I saw in your picture of rebar that it is standing on the outside of the project soldered to the joints.. in my octagon project I am understanding that one rebar soldered to the outside of my project from left to right will reinforce both upper glass and side glass. Am I stating it correctly?
