Hi Jeff~ Now I know how to use my sepia decals that have been stored away. I'm not a fan of sepia decals on their own. Since you're using enamels do you still recommend using a light color glass only? Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I have a question, I am using bullseye 90coe, after full fusing as their firing schedule suggests to 1490, the glass surface sometimes have little dints, seems like surface bubbles broke. my kiln is very clean, I am not sure is this because I am using thin fire paper, or temperature too high?
It's just part of the glass. I too have that and it's just small bubbles in the glass that work themselves to the surface. Don't believe it's anything to do with the Thinfire. I rarely go as high as 1490 F (810 C) though can't see a problem with that. You would go much higher for some purposes. I usually go no higher than 805 C (1480 F) for a full fuse. Held at a higher temp for longer will allow the bubbles to rise to the surface more, but there will always be some bubbles in there.
@@RocketRoseArt thank you very much! I found a super bobble squeeze fire schedule on line, it’s: 400F to 1112F, Hold 30mins. 200F to 1250F, Hold 60mins. 600F to 1480F, Hold 10mins. 9999 to 900F, Hold for 60mins. 150F to 700F, End. Just like you said, not higher than 1480F. I will give a try. Thank you again!
OMG cannot believe someone actually has same open top Paragon Sentry Xpress 4 (love my kiln). Thank you for sharing
Hi Margaret. I agree, the Paragon kilns, and I have 3, have been great. Very few problems, so far.
Thanks so much. Love your videos!
Thanks Susie.
Cool! Thanks for sharing!!
My pleasure Catie

Hi Helene. I think that's a personal choice. I prefer the lighter colours, but why not use other colours. Go for it.
@@RocketRoseArt Thanks!
Hi Jeff, where do you get these enamels from?
@@hnerurkar1 From Glassfusing here in Australia.
