I orderd some of my Glazes thru the Glazemixer website about 10 days ago. According to my account page they haven't been mixed or shipped yet. Anybody else experiencing problems? Is he backed up with orders that you're aware of?

I've a friend that I want to surprise by making some ornaments for. They'll be for the Christmas 2014 holidays. I'm looking for sources of molds although I will make some myself. Can anyboy suggest mold sources from the USA or Canada?

I want to make Salt & Pepper Shaker Sets as gifts for friends but the holes keep sealing with glaze. I'm thinking of leaving toothpicks in the holes to burn out?? What do you use?

I was thinking of experimentally saggar firing in my electric kiln at ^016. I was considering doing this in a 10 gallon galvinized trash can. The kiln has a electric ventilator that'll be on as it fires. Opinions on these thoughts appreciated.

I have a mild Cerebal Palsey that makes my hands shake. Ocassionally I'll be loading two levels of very tall pieces in an elecric kiln. I was thinking of of using 9 inch soaps and wood glueing the butt ends together for temporary stability until I finish loading. If I had two kilns obviously I'd break these into two separate loads. I was figuring the glue would burn off during the firing without creating problems like lubricating the soaps somehow and crashing the shelving. Any opinions appreciated.
