Anybody out there know of a good high fire kiln cement? by Steve Mills
I have used 140TW Sodium Silicate and Kaolin (China Clay) mixed to a soft paste. The items to be joined need to be pre-wetted or they extract all the moisture and the joint fails. Steve Bath UK In article , Leonard

Homemade propane nozzle? by Bill DeWitt
I have seen some intricate plans for black iron nozzles but I wonder if anyone knows of pages with any information about the -how- and -why- of propane nozzle design. I'm wondering if I could shape one directly into the firebrick.

Preventing warping? by Bubbles_
Me again I _think_ that the thicker the "slab", the easier it will warp. I have to have a very flat, thin slab that doesn't warp at all (yes, for my clock). I would like everyone's tips on how they prevent flat "tiles/slabs" from warping, please? Marianne

Distoring ware by Kevin
Hello Fellow potters, I have a problem with some cheese dishes I've fired to stoneware in an electric kiln. The inverted bowls that act as the cheese cover distort in the glaze firing. Cant figure out why. They come out from the bisque firing OK but when fired to 1265'C instead of coming out...
