@fred223delphi Also stretching lead removes the kinks, straightens the lead, making it more rigid which helps reduce the likelihood that it will sag over time.

@mary p. It is not recommended to use casting molds within the microwave kilns.

@fred223delphi The easiest way to finish off lead came where the corners meet is to use very little solder (I prefer to use a nice clean tip fresh off the salamoniac block so that it s easy to pick up just a very small amount of solder.

@gardenglass The best place to start is by taking into account your height or taking the average height of all artists that would be utilizing the cutting tables. Whether you plan on primarily standing versus sitting (say on a stool) to cut the glass will certainly play a part as well. The average height range of the cutting tables that we have in several places around our building happen to be 34 -38 .

Could someone advise me on the best height to build a table for cutting glass on?

I'm using Spectrum 96 white glass and having no luck with getting rid of the devit! I've reduced the upper temp to the point where I'm just getting little more than a tack fuse and cleaned the surface very thoroughly. The amount of devit was less than previous attempts but still apparent. I'd quite like to be able to have a better fuse but this means a higher temp and more devit! Anyone else have this problem the the white glass?

@fivecrowsnatick We don t recommend firing Colour de Verre molds above 1500 F (815 C). At higher temperatures, the primer will start to fuse and becomes very difficult to remove.

Hi I need help can some one answer my question please when I fire my glass and dichroic caps with a clear cap I end up with a hair line around the out side of the cabs what can this be from.

PL?EASE can you use casting molds in the microwave kilns

What's the easiest way to finish off lead came were corners meet? My corners always come out so messy. Also, why does lead came need to be stretched?
