Pyros Newsletter - November 2006
New Products, Bigger sizes and Better Prices!
We spent a lot of time this summer hunkered down in the ol' laboratory, cooking up some new stuff for you! So, just in time for the Holidays, we are pleased to bring you:
How to Freeze 'N' Fuse - The Definitive Guide
Our Tech Notes are now on line so you can download them and read them at your leisure. Learn how to Freeze 'N' Fuse, make a mold or mix your own colors.
New Products!
Pyros Freeze 'N' Fuse Tile Mold
We are pleased to announce our new tile mold! Make texture tiles in virtually any shape up to 5" square. Simply outline the shape you want with the magnetic side bars. Indent your pattern into the texture clay, bake it, then use your mold to freeze and fuse! Make rectangles, trapezoids, triangles with the basic kit. Make hexagons, octagons and you-name-it with optional side bars. It's time to fix up your kitchen or bath! (Should we call it "Bake 'N' Freeze 'N' Fuse"? Maybe not.)
New Freeze 'N' Fuse Pendant Kit
My wife is the jewelry designer and she always wanted a Freeze 'N' Fuse jewelry kit. Well, we put our heads together and here it is!
Enter the Hummingbird!
I was tired of tapping and blotting, but the back thumper was a little too vigorous for my work (threw it across the room). Then Phil Teefy told me about The Oral-B Hummingbird! Wow! This handy pocket-sized vibrating tool does an amazing job of extracting water from Freeze 'N' Fuse projects.
Super-Absorbent Freeze 'N' Fuse Bisque Firing Tiles
Freeze 'N' Fuse pieces should be dried before firing,
but who wants to
allocate a big expensive mullite kiln shelf to the humble duty of
drying piles of sand? Here's a better way: use these 6"
bisque tiles as platforms to dry AND fire FNF work. They are
smooth
on both sides, and are very absorbent so they help your piece dry the
way
it should. Simply transfer to the kiln with work intact. And
cheap? Goodness, yes!
The Power of Neodymium!
Make sure that your powders are free of iron contamination! These incredibly strong magnets do a great job of removing iron particles from your expensive glass.
