Punties
Shawnette,
Do you have any "trick" to
1) getting a punty to attach and not suddenly snap off while working and
2) removing a punty cleanly? (without leaving a glass trail or remainder)
... before putting it in the kiln.
I am not getting it consistently right, and need a RULE OF THUMB, I think. I have tried having the attaching object cooler with a hot punty, hotter object with cool punty, and both hot. I have not been able to determine one working better than the other.
Also, do you ever use a boro rod for a punty?
One more question... I noticed you leave your punties on some of your items, put them right in the kiln. How do you then remove them afterwards? I have never tried that.
Thanks for any wisdom you care to share!
