Kiln supply sources?
Greetings,
I just purchased an AIM model # 84 kiln with the bead door.
For the life of me (and reading posts regarding kilns on L.E.) I am having a hard time finding a source for all the supplies. The instruction book that came with it only discusses set up and does not give details on the on-going usage such as how often to apply kiln wash, etc. It came with a small bag of wash.
I'd also like to try glass fusing since it is multi-use and appears to be large enough to do some small work.
Since I live in a somewhat rural area (and gas prices are really cutting into our driving to the closest city, Madison, WI) I'd like a source or two I can order from on-line. Ebay kilns and supplies seem pretty much new kilns or old stuff that one can only pick up.
If anyone has a good on-line source or two they are willing to provide (and recommend) I would sure appreciate that. I may need to pick up a good, used book or two as well.
Thanks, Ken

Thanks to both of you for the endorsement on this company; I've already bookmarked their site. I need supplies for both slumping and annealing and they appear to have all that "stuff". Ken
