Tips and Observations Making

[@backtoearthcreations]

This is a fantastic video! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@terrygarner7656]

Thanks for always sharing your info!!

[@Lauraway2]

Thanks for sharing. I think I must have gotten some bad glass like you . Because I had squares that did the same thing. I have fired them again and no change. So now I know why. Very frustrating. Love the press and seal tip.

Cleaning vinegar works really good for getting shelf stuff off of projects. Cleaning viniger has a little more acidity than regular viniger.

I think you are right about the coe. I like to play around with fusing non coe 96 or 90. Some of the stained glass does that exactly. Square and dull. I wouldn’t trust that glass. Great for mosaics tho.

Love the press and seal tip!

[@rosannepainter6766]

Very laborious! Thanks for the tips!!!

[@CharmaineKrishnappa]

Great advice, thanks Jamaison!

[@winterwhitechocolate]

Thank you, Jamaison! That press and seal trick is genius! Dots are a necessary evil and I hate picking them off the kiln shelf one at a time. What a difference it will make. I don't do Facebook so I never would have seen it.

[@tonidunkinson1826]

So much to learn.

[@jillmcneely695]

Great video, do you wash your dots after firing?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Yes, there is still just a tiny bit of kiln paper dust on them.

[@johannebrisson4253]

Maybe you could squish the dark ones and see if you can get a lighter colour?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Yes, I bet that would work! I’ve also said that as a New Year’s resolution, I want to do more drop vessels and vases in 2025, so I think using them in a blank and then stretching them in a drop would also be a way to use them and get the value of the color within.

I'm curious how others get Bullseye opaque & dense white to full fuse into dots?? Mine tend to stay in "chiclet" shapes.

[@JamaisonSchuler]

We’ll see if others offer thoughts. Dense white is particularly tough.

[@lindaclasson1088]

For the violet dots, can you press them thinner and recover the color? Or, press them alltogether to make a sheet?

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Yes, both decent options but I’m thinking about using them in a stretch project, particular a vase or vessel where I think they will thin out nicely

[@staceyferguson7754]

Violet in 96 does the same thing...for any 96 users

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Just one of those rich colors…

[@jokappel2430]

As always great info, but you sound awful hope your not getting the crud

[@JamaisonSchuler]

Yeah, I got the crud. 🫤🤧
