Whirlstrom's Profile

Bio

Melting glass is a lot of fun. I think that is why I majored in chemistry so I could use the bunsen burners. Anyway my set up is a propane oxygen fueled torch and Italian glass rods called Effetre. After I make a bead on a stainless steel mandrel coated with a clay-like substance, the bead (still on the mandrel) is placed into a 950 F kiln. At the end of my bead making session a computer program is started that holdsthe kiln temp at 950 F for a half hour after which the kiln temp is ramped up to a 960 F soak and then sllooowwlllyyy ramped down to room temp.
