loved the work and one upside to this method is you dont have to worry about snags and this open cast has restored the desire to resume my geometrical glass projects.

What temperature did you fire it at, and was that the full 5 days at full temperature? If you were using one colour of glass would a day or so have done? Did you have to ramp down the temperature, or could you leave it in the kiln to lose heat naturally as the kiln cooled? Can you reuse the wax after steaming it out? Amazing video, thanks for sharing!

Ok there's lots of questions. I can only answer for the work I do. I fire this work at 850 degreesC. The colours do nor make a difference to how long. The glass must cool slowly. I have electronic 8 stage controllers on my kilns.

No, soda lime glass would not pour into all the detail. I'm used lead crystal. The mould mix is plaster and silica. Without silica the mould would not stand up to high Temps.

Hi James. I use a blend of micro crystalline waxes. I like dark wax as I can see the form better when smoothing etc. But its hard to get now. Techniwax 20001 (I think) from Allied Petroleum is a good base but you have to buy 20kg or so.

Hi Marina. I can't tell you exactly because the wax o is is so old now. 20 years ago my fav was a 'victory brown' but I don't think you can get that now. I like a micro- crystalline wax with a depth of colour to see facets and blemishes, a wax that is a balance between hard and soft, that I can melt, pour, carve, join and that works well in winter cold and summer heat.
