A big cup of hot cocoa on a cold rainy day topped off by a new video from Susan! Great way to start the day!

[@virginieromanetto1907]

WAOOOO it's super! Thanks a lot! it's very interresting!!!

[@rosbroome9064]

Thank you so much for your videos. I live in NZ and feel a long way from the opportunities to do classes, but your generosity in sharing your skills has amazed me. You are a gift to us all and you have opened up so many opportunities for me to learn as an absolute beginner.

[@bmagilla8552]

Thank you so much, your video was very informative. Appreciate you sharing!

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

You are so welcome!

[@annavankesteren992]

Wow this is brilliant! Thank you so much, just what I was looking for! Thank you 😃

[@bonnienieman3414]

I love all your videos! Thank you for sharing all this knowledge with us! Your instructions are clear and easy to follow! I have been wanting to play with the snaps, but had no idea how to do it! Thank you so much!

[@hugoespinosa7204]

Thank You for Sharing , great video ,

[@blacksheeparts5083]

Thanks for making this so informative and clear. I have shide away from fibre paper to make channels but now I realize i need the thicker paper. Great you spen the time to help us to achieve great results too.

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

Blacksheep Arts remember you can stack the fiber paper you have to get the thickness you want. 😁

[@MsLynn251]

Awesome ideas and great information of items for making really nice fused glass jewelry!

[@Dulcilady]

Thanks for all of the information! Great video. Clear & concise.

[@AnnetteRintelmann]

Thanks for all the info. it is the first time I have heard someone say to put the e6000 in the oven to cure.

[@formtech1]

Thanks for sharing all the techniques.

[@patriciapeterson2820]

Thank you❣️ Binge watching your videos!

[@elainefuehrer5739]

just also watched on the blistery cool windy day

[@3PairDesigns]

Susan, thank you so much for sharing! As always, you have so many inspirational ideas. I had never heard of the Gallery Pendants, but now that I have, I am all over those, haha! Thank you so much, you are fun to watch and learn from! :-)

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

3PairDesigns Thank you!

[@brendakeyte9118]

Thank you so much for this useful video (I have lots of free time whilst self-isolating from coronavirus). Now off to my kiln room!

[@joannekamiya4928]

I’m binge watching too. You could always get jump rings to attach to the wire like ones.

[@lisalibeer7824]

Great video! Very informative! Thank you!

[@juliebergacker5680]

Awesome 😱👍😁❤️

[@judyjohnson2699]

Thanks, Honey Bunny - now I want to play with dichro!

[@HeatherWrightArt]

Absolutely love these! All great solutions :-) Can you put faceted stones into glass in a microwave kiln?

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

HeatherWrightArt unfortunately you can’t. There would be a compatibly issue which would cause stress in the glass and it would crack. But you can always try it. 😁

[@dianeseverns2382]

Why do you put the finished piece with the glue in it in the oven. Doesnt the glue burn off. Thanks for all the great ideas for holding pieces.

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

It’s something I learned years ago. The low temp sets the glue. I tested several glues & techniques and this one was the best.

[@armenestrapatey257]

How about using an eye from a hook and eye set. They are inexpensive from habbidashery. They make cute little loops.

[@CuriousEarthMan]

Hello! Thank you for the inspiring videos! Did you ever have any issues with the embedded wire bales causing cracking due to COE issues or other reasons?

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

I have had cracking issues when I didn’t use high fire wire which is meant for embedding in fused glass. I believe in this video I show Handy Hanger which is made with high fire wire.

[@CuriousEarthMan]

@@SusanMcGarryGlass Thank you very much!

[@deborahhardeman8802]

I am a silversmith, i make my own Bezels and the glass looks so cool. Wish i could share a picture.

[@dianedeczynski4251]

Thank you, Susan. Super instructional video! Just one quick question..... do you need diamond bits for your Dremel?

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

I use diamond bits. I get them from Amazon, Harbor Freight, the hardware store, etc

[@dianedeczynski4251]

@@SusanMcGarryGlass Thank you! :)

[@bmagilla8552]

What Dremmel attachment and grit do you use to rough up your pieces? Also, do you use your regular oven for the curing or do you have one just fircuring because of fumes/food contamination danger? Thank you so much. 😊

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

I use whatever attached is closest to my hand. I’m not particular. I usually cure the glue in my airfryer/oven so I don’t need to heat up my big oven. When I cure the glue I have not ever noticed any smell. But if you’re concerned you can cure the glue in your kiln.

[@bmagilla8552]

@@SusanMcGarryGlass thank you! And thank you for all the interesting videos, I need to catch up on them, sooooooo much great information, very informative.

[@ellenmurphy2150]

Hi Susan. I really like your videos. Is it possible to use a hand drill on my pieces to make a hole in my pieces after they've been kilned?.My pieces are about the size you're showing on this video.Not an electric drill.

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

Ellen Murphy you can definitely drill a hole. My advise is LOTS of water!!!

[@karenszczytko3446]

I love your videos, thanks for sharing your techniques! What bit do you use in your Dremel to rough up the glass before gluing on the bails?

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

Karen Szczytko thank you! Great question. Any bit you want or whatever you have. Sometimes I use the ball bit but sometimes I use the cone bit. It all depends on what’s in my Dremel when I need it. 😁

[@kenya2119]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SUSAN they help me a lot! HELLO FROM MEXICO

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

Kenya HELLOOOOO!!!

[@sharonedmonds8259]

Hi, i'm obviously doing something wrong as my glass is not heating up and the kiln paper is burning - any thoughts please I've definitely got the kiln paper the right way up so its not that

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

Sharon Edmonds it sounds like there is something wrong with the kiln. Possibly the thermocouple or the elements or the relay. It could even be the connection between those items. Call the kiln manufacturer for guidance. They are usually very helpful and can sell you any replacement parts you need.

[@jbrondos]

Will any of this work in a microwave kiln? If so, would there be any kind of "firing schedule"?

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

jbrondos just about anything small will work in a microwave kiln but you know your microwave better than anyone else so you’ll have to do some tests to get the perfect schedule.

[@MegaDrea72]

Hi Susan. Thanks for the great information. I received some gallery pendants for Christmas and just fused a 1" square of dichroic to a 1" square of white glass. It came out of the kiln too thick to be placed into the pendant. Can you tell me how you are creating squares that slide in so nicely? Thanks!!

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

MegaDrea72 I’ve found that when I fuse a single piece of glass that is 1”x1” the center wants to dome and that makes it difficult (not impossible) to put in the Gallery Pendant frame. So I usually make my glass in larger “blanks” (I like to call them) and cut the pieces out with a wet saw. Then fire polish. Although fire polish is not necessary if it’s being put into a Gallery Pendant. But there is a way to use the square of glass you already have even if it’s too thick in the middle. Just remove the face of the Gallery Pendant, (yes, it comes apart) place the glass piece against the inside of the front frame (so the thick middle is bulging thru the frame opening) and slide the back of the frame back on. Viola’. If you need more help send me a message thru my Facebook page, Susan McGarry Glass. I’d love to see pictures! 😁

[@MegaDrea72]

@@SusanMcGarryGlass Thank you so much for the quick reply! Yes, it's the bulge in the center that is preventing it from sliding in. I'll try taking the backs off.

[@sandrajusak3791]

I just have one question. Why do you bake the E6000 after you let it cure for 24 hours?

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

Sandra Jusak that’s how I was taught to fully cure the glue.

[@sandrajusak3791]

@@SusanMcGarryGlass thank you!

[@patriciapeterson2820]

Hi Susan! I’m wondering„ do you ever have a retreat??!! I would love to come to it!!

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

Patricia Peterson I don’t have a retreat but it sounds like fun!

[@karenhettenbaugh2109]

Yes!!!!

[@DebbySimpson1]

How do I see the links to all the items?

[@1kpod]

You said what temperature per hour. I’m new to this. How many hours at 500 degrees? How many hours at 1400 degrees? Thanks.

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

When programming a digital kiln you first enter how many degrees per hour, in this case 500F. That means after 1 hr the kiln should be at 500F. After 2 hrs the kiln temp should be 1000F and so on. In this case I wanted the top temperature to be 1425F so at 500F per hour it would take about 2 1/2 hrs. (Remember it will he starting at room temp, about 75F). Then you will need to wait for the kiln to completely cool down before opening. I hope that all makes sense. (I’m sorry it took SO long for a reply. Sometimes I don’t get notified by KZbin)

[@keitha.9788]

I've been using E6000 for years. Never heard of anybody putting it in the oven to cure it......

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

Keith A. I hope you give it a try

[@keesstaps4606]

how can you tell the back on clear and black dichroic glass please

[@SusanMcGarryGlass]

kees staps black backed Dichroic should be easy but clear backed Dichroic is a little tough. I show how to find the coated side in a few of my videos. Click on my name above to be taken to my channel. Then click on the “videos” tab. There you’ll find ALL of my videos in order. Look for anything with Dichroic in the title. I believe #3, #20, #35, #52 & #52 address the topic. Happy Fusing!
