@RocketRoseArt3 жыл бұрын
@@markdiener5233 If the bubbles were all to one side, my guess is that your kiln isn't level. Check that the shelf when sitting in the kiln is level. If not this causes the glass to slump on one side before the other. If the bubbles are not all to one side, and to random sides, I'm honestly not sure what would cause that. I'm very interested to know if they were to one side or all over the place.

@@RocketRoseArt Thanks for your answer! The bubbles are in the corners - most of the square have a bubble in each of the 4 corners, and some just have 1 or 2. The shelf is level. I still like the result, but I will try again sometime. When you made them, were the bubbles all relatively centered?

Hi Desiree. My apologies. Some how I missed your question. Sounds like the glass slumped in the middle of the square first and pushed the bubbles out into the corner. Did you use black stringers and what was the distance between each stringer?

@RocketRoseArt Жыл бұрын
Hi Glenda. Sounds like the centre of each square dropped first, pushing the air into the corners. Thinking about it the size of the square may allow the centre to drop first. A light colour stringer may as well. The black softens quicker so the stringers drop before the clear. Sounds like a nice result though. Interesting. 🧐

Love this idea. Have you ever trapped bubbles on irid glass? It makes square bubbles. I saw it as a finished product but I am not sure what way to put the irid glass. Is it face down against the kiln shelf or are the stringers against the irid side in the middle? Would appreciate your help.
@RocketRoseArt Жыл бұрын
Hi Chester. Sorry, but I've never tried this. However, the irid side would need to be on the inside with the bubbles, but probably just on one side. Two irid sides won't fuse together. Though, both sides may be worth trying as the stringers will fuse with the irid, and themselves, and should hold it all together. Worth doing some tests.

I am trying to figure out what sandblaster I should get. I need to know what type of medium you use in the sand blaster and what nozzle you use. Any help would be great.
@RocketRoseArt2 жыл бұрын
I use Alox (aluminium oxide) 80 grit. Though I think maybe a finer grit would be better. I'll be trying something like 120 grit next. The nozzle I use is the only one the sandblaster came with. It seems to work fine but I can't give you any other info about that. But a finer and less harsh output would be good I think. It should give a finer finish. With the sandblaster I found I needed a large compressor. I had a smaller one but it couldn't keep up and was running continuously as I was blasting. It takes a while to sandblast a large piece. Check when buying the compressor that it will be able to deliver enough air so it's not running continuously. Hope that helps Diane.

Hi Jeff, great video- lesson. 1 Question: the black borderparts don't have overlap with the square centerpiece (with the bubbles). So with the full fuse, they only touch eachother by the side? Do you use clamps or something to keep the different parts together when fusing it in the kiln?
@RocketRoseArt2 жыл бұрын
Hi Carel. For this one I didn't. The side pieces were wide and heavy enough I didn't worry. Under normal circumstances I would. I use pieces of an old kiln shelf that I cut up with a diamond saw as dams. You'll need something that can take the heat so an old kiln shelf is perfect.

Hi Mark. This is the third attempt to answer you, so hope it works. If the bubbles are to one side, check the shelf when inside the kiln is level. Rotate the shelf to check all orientations. If it's not level the glass could slump down unevenly pushing the bubbles to the side. If they're random, I'm not sure. Can you tell me how they're oriented?

Jeff, My wife and I decided to try this idea with very different results. We were both using 96COE product. Both were done using clear. I used stringers and my wife used flat noodles. The tacking programme was similar, but not the same as yours obviously with a different kiln and COE. Both tacked well but the noodles, being bigger, melted less. Then when we did the full fuse the one with noodles went very well and had a nice large bubble in each aquare. Mine with the stringers only had a couple of bubbles and quite a lot of miniscule bubbles scattered around the square. My thought is that the tackng of the stringers was a tad hot/long and they "overtacked", thus not being high enough to trap sufficient air. Appreciate your thoughts. Also what are your reasons for using Bullseye 90COE as opposed to 96COE. Cheers.
@RocketRoseArt2 жыл бұрын
Hi Philip. I think you're right. If they over tacked and flattened too much they'd trap less air. Using noodles is a great idea. Years ago I started working with glass because a local guy was selling off his glass. I didn't have a kiln at the time but had been considering taking it up. So I purchased his glass and it was all 90 COE. So no big decision. In some ways, 96 would have been better, as 90 is not as available here in Australia.

Hi Jana. I think you're asking if you can add the border when fusing the 2 clear pieces with the stringers together. It is possible, but you may end up with a less neat boundary between the black border and the inner clear bubble grid. I've never done that because I always wanted to square off the sides and grind down the clear feature piece so the width of the edge squares are similar to the others. Worth trying on a test piece.
